About HPCO
Our mission
To create opportunities to empower the Harvey Park and Harvey Park South communities through education programs, social events, and philanthropic activities.
Our history and impact
The Harvey Park Community Organization (HPCO), originally the Harvey Park Improvement Association (HPIA), was formed in the 1950s to secure essential services like streetlights and schools for the rapidly growing neighborhood. Over time, it expanded its efforts to include social and educational initiatives, neighborhood events, and advocacy for sustainable development, playing a key role in transforming Harvey Park into a cohesive, engaged community.
Our programs and services
The Harvey Park Community Organization (HPCO) empowers our neighborhood through a variety of programs and services. We offer scholarships to deserving high school students, helping them achieve their educational goals. HPCO keeps you informed with a comprehensive neighborhood newsletter and fosters community spirit by hosting engaging events like the July 4th Bike Parade and the Holiday Lighting Displays. We also recognize guest speakers who share valuable knowledge with our community.

About the neighborhood
The Harvey Park neighborhood gets its name from the large park and lake in the center of the community, which includes a K–8 school, Denver Recreation Center, outdoor swimming pool, and sport fields. Mature trees shade the expansive green areas, filling with birthday parties, barbecues, and quinceañeras on warm evenings and weekends. The Bear Creek trail is ideal for a stroll, and they connect Harvey Park to the South Platte Trail leading straight to downtown Denver.
