Community Policing / National Crime Night Out / Bicycle Rodeo Crime prevention (whether real or perceived), is key to redeveloping any city. Although most redevelopment experts and developers are sometimes reluctant to speak publicly about crime, the Lake Worth CRA is determined to help decrease crime in the city. The CRA actively supports the goals and objectives of the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office. The CRA co-sponsors the annual National Crime Night Out in Lake Worth which showcases law enforcement in the city in addition to a children's bicycle rodeo which promotes safety.

Rotary Club Park
In 2009, the CRA gave a $3,000 Community Aid Grant award to the Lake Worth Rotary Club to build a new pocket park in the western CRA neighborhoods. The money will be used to help cover the cost of construction. This project will establish much needed open space in the Redevelopment Area and will create a pleasant and appealing atmosphere for the residents of the area. Construction of the park was completed in October 2009.
