About Us

Our Mission

The Five Points Association is dedicated to bringing business owners and merchants together to improve the visitor’s experience in Riverside’s most eclectic neighborhood.

Historic Five Points is a collection of retail stores, coffee shops, restaurants, and bars where Jacksonville comes together. The Association’s mission is to create a cleaner, safer, and more enjoyable town center where all are welcome. Please join us and support our mission to make Five Points shine.

Welcome to the Neighborhood

Safety

Safe places, safe spaces. FPA is dedicated to keeping our neighborhood safe. The merchants, landlords, and residents of Five Points, together with the City of Jacksonville, continue to make this area safe and secure. We aim to create a vibrant commercial and residential district where everyone feels welcome and safe. We appreciate your help in our efforts; if you see something, say something. To report anything sketchy going on in Five Points, please call the Jacksonville Non Emergency phone number at (904) 630-0500 or email safety concerns to info@fivepointsassociation.org.

Events

We know how to throw a party. Coming together and having a good time is what life’s all about. We plan and host street parties and festivals for our friends, neighbors, and anyone looking for a good time. From our annual Pride Parade to pop-up block parties, Five Points is always ready to turn up the fun. Be on the lookout for upcoming events and activities and join the party, the more the merrier. If you’d like to be on the guest list, sign up today!

Beautification

Keep Five Points beautiful(ish). We all should give a hoot about our hood. We are committed to keeping our streets and sidewalks clean and beautiful. From installing newer, bigger trash cans to landscaping to volunteers collecting rubbish after a busy weekend, we’re really cleaning up our act. Give us a hand, and don’t pollute; always remember to stick it in the can. Join us in our cleanup effort.

Connections

Five Points is more than a place where roads intersect; it's where Jacksonville connects. The Five Points Association believes in collaboration and cooperation. By bringing neighbors, business owners and merchants together we can make a greater impact to help improve the neighborhood we all love. Join us at the crossroads of culture because we’re better together. Make a connection; make an impact.
