Bay Ridge is a friendly neiborhood , and it is always described as a small town in a big city that enjoys free time. First, most of the neighbors do different activities, such as go out, running, fishing, playing football, and basketball, because we have big parks and live close to the river. Second my community has different events every season. People from different places come to Bay Ridge and enjoy the events. The most popular is the Christmas lights and summer parade. These events bring the community together.Also, we feel secure because the area is safe. Finally, I think my community dedicates a lot of time to activities to socialize with the neighbors and meet one another.
