What to Know About HB 2721 .pdf
Del Norte Place Neighborhood Association Meetings are now being held at the Boat House just south of the Encanto Clubhouse.
The Encanto Park Boathouse was completed in 1936 with architectural design by Lescher and Mahoney, and Peper Construction Company. The boathouse was built as a concession for paddle boats and canoes. The Encanto Park lagoon was the first recreational water feature developed in a local public park in Phoenix.
The architectural style is Spanish Mission Period Revival and was a Public Works Administration depression era project.
Del Norte Place has been granted approval to use the Encanto Boat House as an alternative location for our Association Meetings courtesy of Phoenix Parks and Recreation. It is also s nice place at zero expense. AND CLOSER TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. With its proximity within walking distance, we look forward to using the Boat House as well.
DNPNA officers for the next two year service term of 2025-2026 are:
President - Tim Smith
Vice President - Kenny Young
Secretary - Michele Smith
Treasurer - Open For Volunteer
(Appointment TBD)

Del Norte Place

As we close out another year in the Valley of the Sun, we enjoy the cooler weather and head into 2026, our 99th year as a neighborhood development... a reminder that you’re never too old to grow and get better. We look forward to our 100th anniversary coming soon in April of 2027. We are a small residence historic neighborhood with a need for volunteers to assist in serving the projects that make Del Norte Place an active and vibrant neighborhood to be proud of. With our 100's Anniversary, we hope to have your help in planning a special celebration...

As of April 19th, 2023 we are officially recognized by the IRS as a private foundation, granting exemption from federal income tax under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 501(c)(3). Donors can deduct contributions they make to Del Norte Place Neighborhood Association (DNPNA) under IRC Section 170.

We hit the ground running with 2 fund raisers over the weekend with our Earth Day Neighborhood Plant Sale on April 22nd, and our assisting Abby Guiver with her estate sale on the same weekend. Abby was very generous to donate 50% of sale proceeds to the Del Norte Place Neighborhood Association. These two events grossed us just over $1,800! All those who donated and those who purchased from the plant sale can opt to claim charitable donation status on your contributions and purchase as is listed within the IRS guidelines. We are so grateful to all of our neighbors and those who have provided patronage for our events. We continue to move onward and upward as we anticipate future events for the benefit of our historic 96 year old neighborhood.
