WWPNA was founded (as South Central Improvement Association) in 1964. It is a citizen-based neighborhood organization for the areas bounded by Speer, I-25, Broadway and Marion. All who live, own property or operate a business within these boundaries are urged to become members of WWPNA.

WWPNA continues the tradition of community preservation and improvement. For more than forty years, the West Washington Park Neighborhood Association has meant leadership to our community.  WWPNA confronts the issues of most vital concern to our neighborhood, issues ranging from zoning to transportation, crime, and general livability. And in facing these issues, WWPNA always uses our neighborhood's most valuable and versatile resource - those who live and do business in West Washington Park.
