Greenway Downs

A Community Since 1942

neighborhood groups & Clubs

Our neighborhood is full of people with lots of interests, but we know it can be hard to find others with similar interests who live nearby. To help make connections among neighbors with similar interests, we've created this page to list groups that are open to other neighbors joining. Groups are open to all Greenway Downs and JV neighbors!

If you are interested in starting a new group (about any interest), please send an email to GreenwayDownsInfo@gmail.com. To join an existing group, reach out to the contact info below. The board doesn't manage these groups, but we are happy to connect group leaders and interested members. See club flyers for select clubs further below.
