After a long hiatus, the South Park Slope Community Group’s website will begin updating content: website hierarchy, posts, news, etc. and on-going efforts within the community to “keep Brooklyn safe” through our group’s interaction with our neighbors, local elected officials, Brooklyn Community Board 7 and other local community groups.
Check back soon for updates to this site.
