Welcome to our new
Gardenland Northgate Neighborhood Association website.
Neighborhoods thrive when everyone has a voice. We bring together community members, local government, private partners, and organizations to create safer, cleaner, and economically vibrant places to live and work.
ABOUT
The Gardenland Northgate Neighborhood is located in the South Natomas area of Sacramento, CA. GNNA is a 501(c)3 non-profit that is an advocate for our neighborhood. GNNA supports our community by giving scholarships to local students, supporting local sports teams and community organizations. We encourage residents to learn about what is going on in our area through monthly meetings. We have an annual holiday dinner for neighbors to spend time together and enjoy food that comes from local businesses.
We meet on the 2nd Thursday of every month at 6:30 pm at the Stanford Settlement Neighborhood Center.
450 W El Camino Ave, Sacramento, CA 95833.
You can attend our meetings in person or virtually.
