About Hill Park
Our Story
Hill Park was founded in 2017 with a vision to bring timely and reliable news to the heart of our community. It all started as a passion project by a group of local journalists and enthusiasts who identified a growing need for an accessible, community-focused news platform. We wanted to create a space where Hill Park residents could stay informed about local events, issues, and the people shaping their neighborhood.
Over the years, our team has grown, but our mission remains the same: to provide unbiased, accurate, and engaging news coverage that reflects the diverse voices within our community. We strive to fill an information gap often left unaddressed by larger media outlets, focusing on the unique stories and experiences that make Hill Park a vibrant place to live.
