HPNA’s monthly window decorating contests continue throughout December. Read more here.
The Hollywood Park Neighborhood Association previously sent an email newsletter with information on Sacramento County’s guidelines for trick-or-treating and other Halloween activities (Click here). Since then, the State of California has issued “guidance” that supersedes the County. In light of the new State announcement, HPNA follows the State of California guidance.
Here is the latest information issued by the State of California on the topic (Click Here).
Here is an article from the Sacramento Bee with the headline, “Trick-or-treating ‘strongly discouraged’ in California this Halloween” (Click Here).
HPNA is very sorry to forward this information to our residents, but we do have some good news!
HPNA is sponsoring a house decorating contest, and will have prizes for the three best decorated houses in the neighborhood. Judging will take place between October 24th and October 31st. All you have to do to participate is make sure your decorations are out by the 24th. Judges will be looking at homes at night, so be sure to leave lights on. Winners will be notified after the judging takes place. If you are a winner, send an email to info@hollywoodpark95822.org stating that you give permission for a picture of your house to be printed in the next newsletter.
We had nine winners for the HPNA Ice-cream Decoration contest where winners received a free frozen dessert from HPNA for sending us a photo of their ice-cream themed artwork posted on a window at their home. This month, the theme is All Things Fall, such as Apples (for Apple Hill Season), red leaves, pumpkins, etc. Winners will have their names listed in the HPNA Newsletter (but won’t win a frozen treat as its going to be cold out soon!) To participate, simply create some artwork, display it on your window, and send a picture of proof to info@hollywoodpark95822.org, or see the HPNA Website or the Fall issue of the newsletter for details.
We wish you all a very happy Fall season, and hope everyone is safe and well.

Want to show your patriotism from the sidelines? Not a problem! Line the parade route from your favorite spot in your front yard and cheer your neighbors as they parade by.
If you have a vintage car that you’d like to showcase in the parade, we’d love to include it. Please contact the parade coordinators ASAP (see contact below) so we can arrange your place in the parade lineup.
Volunteers are needed – Help Us Get the Neighborhood Ready for the Annual Fourth of July Parade!
The time to plan Hollywood Park’s annual Fourth of July Parade is here! Volunteers are a must to make this the best parade yet. We will need neighbors to help with being parade marshals, bringing donations of homemade treats and other refreshments, and to help with setup and cleanup. Also, if you have a creative talent or ideas to increase the neighborhoods patriotic spirit, we’d love your help!

All of these benefits and more can be achieved through the simple act of planting trees. Take part in Hollywood Park’s first annual tree planting campaign!
It’s easy! Utilize the FREE Shade Tree program offered by the Sacramento Tree Foundation in partnership with SMUD, and then gather a few friends, family members or neighbors and get planting. Foresters will help you choose the best tree for your home.
Visit sactree.com/shadetrees or call the Sacramento Tree Foundation at (916) 924-8733 for more info.
To help volunteer for future tree related efforts of the Hollywood Park Neighborhood Association, please email the Neighborhood Improvement Committee at HPNA95822@gmail.com.
This year’s National Night Out marks the 30th anniversary of this great event, celebrating America’s Night Out Against Crime. In Hollywood Park, we like to honor this night by having host parties throughout the neighborhood to get people to come outside, meet their neighbors and build a sense of community.
We encourage you all to head out and visit your nearby host location. Or take a bike ride and visit a some of the other locations. Each host site offers refreshments, free mosquito repellant (thank you Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito Vector Control District!) and a chance for great conversations. One of our locations this year is the HP Produce Exchange on Salvator Way. See what’s producing in the neighborhood!
