We must go back in history.

Prior to BluffParkAl.org being in existence, there was a Bluff Park Neighborhood Associationn that folded in January 2006. I was able to speak to the former president of the association and asked her what their qualifications for being in Bluff Park were. She indicated that they considered any house who's kids were zoned for Bluff Park Elementary School as being in "Bluff Park". That was our second reference (old fire district was the first). Keep in mind that prior to the re-zoning of 2004, kids who lived on Shades Crest Road all the way to Hwy. 150 were zoned for Bluff Park Elementary.

I (and the other "founders" of BluffParkAl.org) then looked at the general area that we call Bluff Park. The business center of Bluff Park is the Shades Mountain Plaza area and Bluff Park Village. Outlying business section, thus not in the "center" include Tip Top Grill, Bluff Park Hardware, etc. We thought that anyone who would frequent the shops in both of those centers should be considered as "Bluff Park", so we came up with the following boundaries:

From Chapel Road by the power sub-station to Shades Crest Road to Sulphur Springs Road on one end, I-65 on the other end and down to Gary Mac drive off Tyler Road and everything inside those roads is what we would consider Bluff Park.

The Alford Avenue area would be sketchy.
Since BluffParkAl.org was formed in August 2006 , the Shades Mountain community has come up with their own group http://shadesmt.16.forumer.com/ and are basing it on the success that we've had, which is great.
