History and Purpose

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.

Founded more than 20 years ago, the Hamilton Park Neighborhood Association's purpose is to serve the interests and needs of the people within and beyond its historic designated area. The HPNA is dedicated to serving the interests and needs of the people by:

• Promoting a cleaner and safer neighborhood
• Uniting residents in common causes
• Cooperating with city government and other neighborhood associations to promote neighborhood revival
• Acting as a sounding board for the opinions of residents of the area
• Representing local Residents at various city meetings
• Assisting in upgrading Hamilton Park and its immediate environs
• Effectively serving the evolving interests and needs of the citizenry of downtown Jersey City
