Hyde Park Neighborhood Association Events
Monthly Meetings - First Monday
HPNA meetings are usually held on the first Monday of every month at 7 PM, at the Hyde Park Methodist Church, 4001 Speedway. The meetings feature speakers from our community, local businesses, and city representatives. Members of the association are eligible to vote on issues presented at the meeting.
Homes Tour - Father's Day Weekend
Note: In 2008, the Hyde Park Neighborhood Association will be taking a one-year hiatus from its annual Homes Tour. Details at HydeParkHomesTour.org...
Each Fathers Day weekend
in June, the Hyde Park Neighborhood Association holds it's annual Historic Homes
Tour. People 
come
from across the state and the country to see our beautiful historic
homes, but what they really see is a neighborhood that, like a phoenix,
has risen from the ashes. As people come and see beautiful homes, it
is hard for them to imagine today what this neighborhood was like 30
years ago.
For information on this year's tour, visit HydeParkHomesTour.org.
Fire Station Festival in October
The fire station festival is held in each fall to celebrate the continued operation of our local fire station, and to thank the firefighters of our beloved Engine 9.
In
1971/72 neighbors rallied over the issue of Fire Station # 9. In a round
of cost-cutting fervor the city manager had determined to close the local
fire station. Residents found this measure counter-intuitive and draconian
so they banded together to resist. The outcome was that more the a quarter
century later, the 1930's brick and tile building was still standing.
Today, the fire truck is never more than a minute or two away from any
house in the neighborhood.
