It's about recognizing that Parkville isn't just a place on a map — it's a living, breathing community shaped by the people who call it home. From the small business owner who remembers your name to the nonprofit volunteer who shows up rain or shine, these are the stories that deserve to be told.

Strengthen Community Bonds

This isn't just about recognition — it's about building a culture of appreciation and support.

Parkville Proud is your invitation to be part of that positive momentum.
About the Creator
Hi, I'm Alyssa Woodside.
I'm a local real estate professional with RE/MAX State Line and the creator of Parkville Proud. Real estate brought me into this community, but it's the people, the stories, and the genuine connections that have made me fall in love with Parkville.
I built this project because I believe strong communities don't happen by accident — they're cultivated through intentional recognition, support, and celebration. When we shine a light on the people and organizations doing good work, we inspire others to do the same. That's the kind of community I want to be part of, and I hope you do too.
This project is community-first and relationship-driven. It's not about selling — it's about serving. It's about creating connections that matter and highlighting the heart of what makes Parkville special. Thank you for being here and being part of this journey.
Whether you're a longtime resident or new to the area, Parkville Proud is a space where everyone belongs. I'm honored to facilitate these connections and grateful for the opportunity to give back to a community that has given me so much. Let's keep building something beautiful together.
