Stay Connected through Park Hill-based Websites
We know that news, even neighborhood news, happens on a daily basis. That is why the Greater Park Hill News hosts a website at greaterparkhill.org, a Facebook page at facebook.com/greaterparkhillnews, and a Twitter account at twitter.com/parkhillnews. Last month, the Greater Park Hill Community, Inc., GPHN’s parent organization, also launched a Facebook page at facebook.com/gphcdenver to discuss issues specific to the registered neighborhood organization and its charitable works. Our websites have made every effort to follow and like relevant community accounts, and we encourage you to use them as a channel to other neighborhood websites.
In November, the city urged neighborhood leaders to join EveryBlock, a neighborhood news website that issues daily news updates on crime, real estate, community forum issues, as well as aggregating neighborhood-related content. Sign up at denver.everyblock.com.
As featured in this issue, every City Council representative writes a monthly newsletter. You can sign up for those through the denvergov.org/citycouncil by visiting the relevant district pages and clicking Subscribe Now.
In addition, two GPHC board members maintain a web presence to keep neighbors apprised of goings-on in the community:
Melissa Davis, At-Large, maintains golocalparkhill.com. Featured in the April issue, the site set out to make it easy to support the local Park Hill economy by listing local businesses, maintaining an events calendar and providing a community message board.
Ryan Hunter, District 2, maintains the Park Hill Neighborhood group on Facebook. 766 members strong, the wall is visible to all, but you need to be invited by a member to contribute. Most everyone in the Facebook community should have one degree of separation from it, so that shouldn’t pose a problem.
Finally, for parents, there is the Park Hill New Parents Group, featured in the July issue of the GPHN. Hosted at www.meetup.com/Park-Hill-New-Parents-Group, active members are expected to pay dues of $10, but any parent in the Park Hill, Montclair, Hilltop, Crestmoor, Mayfair and City Park neighborhoods may peruse the community forum before making that choice.
