Block Party Activity Kit
(Bpak) Rental

Block Parties have been as much of a staple of growing up in Bexley as Johnson's Ice Cream, The Drexel Movie Theater, 4th of July Festivities and Bexley Recreation Programming. As a child, the day your street holds their block party is one of the best days of the year. You get to ride your bike in the street, play games with the other kids on the street, stay out late and enjoy great food and desserts.

For parents, the block party is a great opportunity to catch-up with familiar neighbors and meet the new family that just moved in down the street. However, it has become more and more difficult for parents to find the time to organize these neighborhood events.

The BPAK will help simplify the planning and execution of your next block party!
