The Hyde Park Neighborhood Membership Drive is taking place in September and October. We appreciate your support! Join us in helping to get the word out by participating in our Walk Your Neighborhood initiative. We have created a letter that can be printed and delivered to your neighbors. Our goal is to have every household in Hyde Park receive a letter. What better way to get your steps in than by helping your community! If you send us a photo of yourself delivering letters, you’ll get an extra entry to win a gift card to a local Hyde Park business.

You can download a copy of the letter here.

Happy walking! And thank you for supporting Hyde Park!

Tamarack & Grigg Walkway Clearing

caption follows

Anthony Isaacs led a team of folks on this one. Thanks, Anthony (and volunteers), for your beautifying efforts! 

Project description:

Clear the overgrown vegetation from the walking path that connects Tamarack and Grigg Avenues to Withrow H.S. and Wulsin Park. The CRC has added some new concrete paths in the park and rebuilt the broken end of the connecting pathway from Tamarack and Grigg, but honeysuckle, ivy, and soil are covering about a third of the walkway, making it difficult to comfortably use the walkway.

Walkway at the corner of Tamarack Ave and Grigg Ave
