I'm on my community's board as a director at large.

I'm finding that the hardest part of any initiative is community support, as all of the grant programs usually have community support as a requirement for participation.
We are attempting to get a community garden up and running for the 2012 growing season, and although very preliminary, we're finding support through our Alderman's Executive Assistant and the Calgary Horticulture Society.
We have also a regular movie night, and kid's dances, as well as stuff for the kids at the skate shack.

OP: have you spoken with the Lawn Bowling Club down off 17th ave SW around 11st? They have been there for ever, and likely know all of the issues.
