Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.

Those are the days the police is supposed to be out there when it’s very hot in the park. Everyone shows up. All they have to do is park in front of the entrance and know who’s coming in and out. Where was the park police? I remember when the police used to patrol every single day they would come in the park. Not anymore.
Thank you for recording and taking pictures. The driver needs to go somewhere else and take his bicycle (SIC) with him! These degenerates make it impossible to feel comfortable in NY anymore.
