What does the neighborhood association do?

Highland Park Neighborhood Association

Highland Park was developed as a place to "get away from the noise and dust of the city" and enjoy warm sulphur spring water. Residents reached the area through horse-drawn carriages and street cars.
Since that time, the area, now bounded by Interstates 10 and 37, and Avenues Fair and Clark, has grown to include 4,700 residences, several businesses and schools, and the largest senior apartment complex in Bexar County.
