HNPCA is a not-for-profit, non-political, and non-sectarian entity serving the Hollywood-North Park Community in Chicago.
The Hollywood-North Park Civic Association, forerunner of today's Hollywood-North Park Community Association, was created in 1951 by neighbors who sued to shut down a troublesome business on Metropolitan Sanitary District land near Peterson and Jersey Avenues. After winning the suit, the Association successfully campaigned to have the land transferred to the Chicago Park District, which converted it to green space, now known as Legion Park.
Those determined residents created a legacy that the Association carries forward today: Assessing neighbors' concerns and seeking consensus, strategizing and acting together to develop solutions, enjoying the natural and cultural bounty of our community.
