District 10

Annual ice cream social

Every year, the District 10 Como Community Council plans our Ice Cream Social, featuring free ice cream, live music, meet-and-greets with neighborhood organizations and activities for children and families.

This year’s event is scheduled for 5:30 to 8 p.m. on July 11 at the Como Park Historic Streetcar Station, 1224 Lexington Parkway N. Because parking is limited, community members are encouraged to walk, bike, roll, car-pool or take public transportation.

Interested in helping plan or volunteer? Fill out our interest form, attend a meeting (listed in the next column), or contact the organizer at [email protected].

2025 Lake Como cleanups

Join us for our 2025 Lake Como Cleanups! These community events, held in partnership with the Capitol Region Watershed District, focus on the shoreline and Lake Como itself.

The next lake cleanup is scheduled for 5 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, July 8. The final one for 2025 is scheduled for 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Sept. 20.

District 10 provides trash-grabbers, rakes, buckets, nets, trash bags and nitrile gloves for those who need them. Or, feel free to bring your own gear.

Registration is not required, but it helps to plan and communicate if changes come up. For more information, check out District 10’s website at District10ComoPark.org/Cleanup.
