Saturday, December 13, 2025 is "Wreaths Across America" memorializing our country's deceased service members and their families during the holidays. HANA joins with the Optimists Club in sponsoring warm refreshments at the ballfield clubhouse across Mary Street from Parkdale Cemetery.
This is a well-attended event with lots of youth organizations helping distribute wreaths, plus local dignitaries and military veterans participating. Be sure to arrive early if you want a close-in parking space. The Chase Tower parking lot is also available. This is a "rain-or-shine" event.
HANA sponsors wreath placement in lots I, J, and K, which are located in the oldest and most historic portion of the larger Parkdale complex, at the back, close to Johnson Creek.
We represent a collection of diverse neighborhoods located directly south of City Hall in Arlington, Texas.
From our quaint MidCentury neighborhoods to parts of Arlington's bustling Downtown and the University of Texas at Arlington, to our mom-and-pop businesses and chain stores, to our religious campuses and apartment complexes, we try to balance both the charm of our leafy community and the changes taking place in our strategic urban corner of the Dallas - Fort Worth Metroplex.
We are not a homeowners association. Instead, we have the pulse of major concerns and opportunities that affect not just us, but all of Arlington. For example, Johnson Creek runs through most of HANA, as does the city's busiest boulevard, Cooper Street, and HANA members have participated in various projects and studies related to each.
We boast one of the city's most robust neighborhood action plans and are consulted about proposed developments both inside and near our boundaries. We have high standards when it comes to new construction and work hard to balance the interests and expectations of all stakeholders.
Fortunately, we benefit from having a great community legacy, established by many Arlington business and civic leaders who were the original builders of our neighborhoods. These notables include the James Martin family, after whom AISD's Martin High School is named; plus the Caton, Chen, Farrar, Hightower, Jordan, Joeckel, King, Landrum, Maner, Mathes, Moore, Terry, and Watson families - just to name a few. UTA professors have lived here, and some of our earliest subdivisions housed the first workers at Arlington's ever-expanding GM plant. Even Arlington's oldest existing house , built in 1893, is within HANA's boundaries.
Generally speaking, HANA's boundaries run from Abram Street on the north to Collins Street on the east, Arkansas Lane on the south, and Cooper Street on the west, plus the Meadow Oaks and Cedar Springs Terrace neighborhoods around Mitchell Street.
If you live here or own a business here, we welcome you to participate with us!
