Fall Neighborhood News

The Overbrook Trail Easement Proposal is now complete and will go before the North Little Rock City Council at their meeting on August 8, 2011. This proposal will allow the city to upgrade our trail so that it can be used to interconnect with other inner city trails. This continues to not be financially feasible for our association to accomplish without the help of the city. We are looking forward to their assistance.

Please do not throw your leaves and limbs in the Overbrook greenbelt areas. You will receive a $25 invoice if our greenbelt maintenance crew must clean up after you.
