How do you find peace in the middle of a city of a million people? Look no further than the little town of Hollywood Park, Texas. Just 25 minutes north of downtown San Antonio, this cozy, quiet town of only 4,000 residents enjoys easy access to all of the greater San Antonio metro destinations.
The friendly, close-knit community lies nestled in between North 281 Interstate and the 1604 loop just minutes from food, shopping, and entertainment. The community feels like a small town amid busy North Central San Antonio. Gnarled live oaks thrive everywhere in this affluent, family-friendly neighborhood best known for its unique history, the wild deer that roam the area and its hidden jewel, Voight Park.
The city was founded just over 60 years ago when residents got together in a neighbor's garage and cast their votes to incorporate the Town of Hollywood Park. At the time it was a small town on the outskirts of a growing San Antonio that young professionals flocked to for newly built homes. Over the years it has grown and become a proper city. There is a police department and a volunteer fire department and well as a city administration building. Although the community is firmly rooted in the larger, San Antonio metropolitan area, many residents are proud to share that their families have stayed in the neighborhood and continue to grow the community.
Hollywood Park is a unique place with an interesting history and a strong sense of community striving to give residents a great place to live. Built on land formerly owned by Mr. EE Voigt and using money donated by him, the town sported a recreation center and small park. In the last few years, Voigt Park on the edge of the city limits has been transformed. The family-oriented park sports a brand new pool and recreation space. This is a totally hidden gem in the City of Hollywood Park. There are two play places for children of varying ages, a splash pad, and a pool with both kiddie and wading areas. For adults and families, the park also provides an outdoor exercise challenge, volleyball and basketball courts, grilling pits, and a snack bar.
Hollywood Park is comprised of primarily private residential property. It is known throughout San Antonio as a lovely area where every lot is covered with rambling oak trees, and deer from the surrounding wooded areas come to feast on the acorns. Many people from the neighboring city will drive to Hollywood Park during the holiday season. The town is one of the best places in San Antonio to see Christmas lights on the resident's homes and to catch glimpses of deer between the trees. Hollywood Park deer are so popular that the neighborhood has even enacted deer feeding ordinances and has an annual 5k called the Deer Dash.
Be aware that because the city is so small, just 1.5 square miles, appearances are very important. Beyond the purview of a housing association, Residents and the City Council strive to keep Hollywood Park clean, neat and beautiful. The city has ordinances and timelines on many home, deer, and lawn/tree related issues. It is important to keep up with the rules and regulations to ensure that your lawn is up to par and you are trimming your trees during the designated months.
Many residents can also find it a challenge to protect delicate grasses, foliage, flowers and other landscaping features from feeding deer. Although the city has feeding regulations, the deer are wild and roam throughout the neighborhood. Many residents put out food from the approved deer feeding list, but the deer can still wreak havoc on your lawn. Hollywood Park deer watching may be a fun past time, but your lawn shouldn't have to suffer. Regular maintenance is key.
Busy families residing in Hollywood Park recognize that their cozy hamlet is a quiet pocket in a fast-paced city with a ton of things to do and see. Whether you are ferrying your kids to Voigt Park, heading to the local HEB for fresh veggies for the deer, or any of a myriad of things in your busy life, you need lawn care you can trust to keep your home current with Hollywood Park's lawn and garden expectations. You can entrust your lawn care to Lawn Love, the best lawn care service in Hollywood Park and the greater San Antonio area.
