About us
Who We Are
The Roseberry Ruskindale Road Neighborhood Association (RRRd NA) is a group of neighbors working together to build a connected, safe, and vibrant community for everyone who lives in and around our streets. We are proud to represent a multicultural, intergenerational group of families committed to supporting one another and shaping the future of our neighborhood—together.
Our Mission
To create and maintain a community that offers quality of life for our multicultural, intergenerational families for years to come.
What We Do
Community Advocacy
We advocate for safety, sustainability, resiliency, and connection by:
- Partnering with local and state government offices (Mayor’s Office, Governor’s Office, Attorney General, Police, and Fire Departments)
- Collaborating with nonprofits and businesses that serve our community
- Hosting neighborhood meetings to share information and gather feedback
- Organizing social events to bring neighbors together
City of Boston Liaison
As a registered association, we serve as a point of contact with the City of Boston by:
- Holding abutter meetings for local development projects
- Sharing surveys that help us understand and communicate our community’s needs
- Supporting local schools, especially Chittick Elementary and others within the 02136 zip code
Collaborating Regionally
We work with other neighborhood groups and citywide initiatives to make sure Hyde Park’s voice is heard—especially when it comes to shared spaces and resources like:
- Cleary Square
- Riverside Shops
- The Neponset River
- Local commuter rail stations

Our core area includes 10 main streets
