About HPNA

The Hyde Park Neighborhood Association (HPNA) in Austin, Texas exists to foster a closer, more genuine community of neighbors and to preserve and improve the historic and unique character, amenities, and ecology of the neighborhood.

Founded in 1974, the Association is made up of volunteers dedicated to improving the quality of life for Hyde Park residents.

We host monthly meetings and special task force committees focused on areas of interest to residents as well as fun, community-building events designed to bring folks together. Many of these events also showcase and celebrate some of the neighborhood’s local treasures and historical landmarks.

If you live in Hyde Park’s designated boundaries and are interested in becoming involved in the Association, please join us. New members are always welcome.

Contact Us with any questions, concerns, etc.

The Association holds monthly meetings on topics of interest to area residents. Everyone is welcome to attend — members and non-members alike.
