The first meeting of the Hamilton Park Neighborhood Association was called to order in 1975. Residents were concerned about deteriorating living conditions in the neighborhood and the sidewalk around the park that was in disrepair. These issues, as well as devotion to restoring the area, sparked the founding members to come together and collectively address the situation.

This was the start of a monthly ritual which continues today, where neighbors meet to discuss the issues and the opportunities in our neighborhood as they unfold.
