Tampa is divided into three areas called districts. OSH is located within District 2 (north of Hillsborough) and District 3 (south of Hillsborough). Within the districts, TPD uses a grid system to further divide the city. There are 15 grids corresponding to OSH with some overlap with other neighborhood associations. Ideally, there is at least one Neighborhood Watch Coordinator (NWC) aligned with each grid, but some NWCs cover more than one grid or have more than one coordinator. Here is a list of Neighborhood Watch pages matched to grids and a ‘zoomable’ map showing the grids within TPD District 2 and 3 boundaries from the TPD website.
