Hillwood Neighborhood Association will hold our Ice Cream Social at Hillwood Park on Wednesday, July 9, 2025 from 6:30 to 8:30. This year we will have some new features for our Hillwood neighbors including a Hopelink food drive on site. We’ll fill in all the details as they are confirmed.

Have you seen the salmon?

The Refurbished Einstein Salmon Sculptures were unveiled at the corner of NW 195th St & 3rd Ave NW on November 8th, 2024. NEW on the page is a fully reviewed account of the male salmon being refurbished. Over 1,000 people, including Einstein staff, students, and Hillwood neighbors participated in the unveiling - thanks to any and all of you for turning out for the dedication! The salmon look much different than before their overhauls, so walk by to check them out if you haven’t yet.

Volunteer Projects

The Hillwood Neighborhood Association (HNA) is proud to sponsor native plant restoration and trail maintenance, public art installation, litter pick-ups, and other projects. You have probably seen the work of our volunteers, but you may not know how fun it is to be a part of the effort!

Our trail maintenance projects continue to be a great way for new neighbors to meet in a small group setting. We are always excited to get student volunteers, kids, and new members of the community involved in such a hands on way. Thank you for your help volunteers!

Free Events

One of the Hillwood Neighborhood Association’s most well known events is our annual Ice Cream Social, held in Hillwood Park each July. The event is completely free to all residents of Hillwood Neighborhood (we mail tickets to your house)! Each person who attends is greeted with ice cream, live music, games, and activities.

We do also host additional free events year round, including free coffee and pie at the Shoreline History Museum, and our newest event the ‘Dog Days Promenade’ benefitting PAWs.

We hope to see you at our next event!

Attendees at our two summertime events, the Hillwood Ice Cream Social and the Dog Days Promenade!

All residents are welcome and encouraged to join HNA board meetings (held approximately monthly, depending on current business) to discuss projects, events, and area news.

All past projects were introduced by Hillwood residents. Please bring your ideas!
