Our Blue Hills-Beautiful initiative continues to expand every year. It is an annual 8-week, block-by-block neighborhood clean-up done in partnership with City of KCMO Neighborhood & Housing Services and Parks & Rec, neighborhood residents, volunteers, corporate & faith-based organizations pitching in to keep our neighborhood clean!

As of January 2020, Blue Hills was awarded, the “Health Happens in Neighborhoods” grant through the Local Initiative Support Corporation (LISC) from the Health Forward Foundation. Blue Hills will utilize these funds to install a pocket park on 4 previously vacant over-grown lots. It will be located in the heart of our neighborhood to encourage and facility a safe, clean, and healthy space for our youth and seniors to enjoy and engage in physical activity.
