Our Acreage We do.

Neighbors. Ideas. Action.

A better Acreage takes ideas. And people willing to work.

We support ITID candidates who will serve residents of all ages, for better parks, more places to play and practical improvements built by neighbors.

Our priorities

What we stand for

Why our parks and fields matter

  1. A community for everyone

    Residents of every age and interest deserve to be heard.

  2. More opportunities to get outside and play

    Better parks and more sports and recreation, planned for access, upkeep and long-term use.

  3. Ideas backed by effort

    Residents, volunteers and local leaders turning practical ideas into improvements people can use.

Vote informed

Help a neighbor vote informed

Local races like ITID decide the parks and fields we use every week, yet they get far less attention than the top of the ballot. Learn what the board does, then pass it on: send a friend this site, bring a neighbor to early voting, or ask a question in our Facebook group.
