Hamilton Park Fountain Survey 

Plagued by vandalism: intentional and accidental,  fallen into disrepair due to funding shortages, the HPNA is spearheading a fountain redesign.  The HPNA worked with Aquatic Arts in 2025 to develop a solution that responds to the vandalism and durability.  But, it is only one of the options we believe are possible.  Please complete this short survey for the HPNA to determine what solution the residents and visitors would like to see.  

The HPNA believes that the complete redesign is the best choice, alas it is the most expensive.  In an effort to ease that burden the HPNA applied for a grant  to cover its cost.  We will let you know the outcome.   

Thanks to Katherine O. for lending her expertise to create the survey!  

ICE CREAM TRUCK RESOLUTION

Last year, Councilman Solomon passed a resolution addressing the ice cream truck parking issue.  At issue was that the ice cream truck parked on on Ninth St. between West Hamilton and Jersey Ave, all day, creating noise and spewing diesel fumes and small particulants in the air adjacent to where kids play and people live.  There were also days with multiple ice cream trucks parked there, compounding the problem.  The solution is: Ice Cream Truck Resolution 25-058.pdf

This solution involves a yearly lease for only one ice cream truck.  This truck must move around the park to designated parking spaces at specific times.  Below is an image from the resolution.  

Lawn Work in Hamilton Park

The city is doing "DEP - approved environmental controls" in Hamilton Park.  The fencing that is installed, is the limits of the work.  The fencing will be up through spring.  

The HPNA requests that all users of the park respect the fencing.  Please do not remove, move, or damage the fencing.  Please do not lift children or animals over the fencing.  Let's all work together to improve and protect the park for all.
