Hollywood-North Park Community Association

Since 1951, the Hollywood-North Park Community Association (HNPCA) has worked to make our community the best it can be. Our goal is to support and promote the common interests of our residents, business owners, and community institutions.

HNPCA is your community association if you live or own a business within these boundaries: the south side of Peterson Avenue to the north side of the North Branch of the Chicago River; from the east side of Pulaski Road to the west side of the North Shore Channel.

Stay informed by joining HNPCA's Email List at HNPCA@sbcglobal.net.  It's a free and easy way to receive the latest news and updates concerning our community.
