About HAT

Our Story

In 2017 two teenage girls, while doing a project, were discouraged to see the run down state of the Leon Young Pavilion Park in the Hillside neighborhood. The Colorado Trust saw their project and got involved. Soon neighbors were meeting regularly to discuss the pavilion and the improvements they wanted to see there. The group grew and began meeting regularly in early 2019, inviting neighbors to participate in the improvement of our neighborhood in general. The Hillside Advisory Team formed to lead this larger neighborhood group. In 2023 the team became organized and a board was elected with the mission of building pride in Hillside by representing the neighbors and pursuing the issues that matter to them.
