🎉 What a night! We had a great time celebrating National Night Out at High 5 and at neighborhood parties throughout Lakeway.

We always enjoy meeting our neighbors and spending time with the community we serve. Good food, fun games, great conversations and plenty of laughs made for a memorable evening! And the beautiful weather was the icing on the cake. ☀️

A big thank you to everyone who came out to the High 5 event, all of our neighborhood hosts and hostesses, and our City staff and partners in Court, Victim Services, Dispatch, CERT and the Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association who helped make the night a success.

We’re lucky to serve such an amazing community. 💙
