The Spring Hill Neighborhood Association is an advocacy group for the community. In 2008, the parks committee of the First Taxing District of Norwalk agreed to create a park out of a tract surrounding the water towers in the neighborhood (bordered by Dover Street, Grandview Avenue and Magnolia Street). The property includes several oak trees that are about 150 years old. Up until the creation of the park, the neighborhood was the only one in Norwalk without a park. Riverside Park, a long strip, previously existed where the "Super 7" highway connector was built in the early 1980s. Norwalk Hospital is a major landowner in the neighborhood. Aside from the land where the hospital buildings are located, the hospital owns more than a dozen parcels totaling roughly on Truman, Stevens and Maple streets, Magnolia Avenue and Rhodonolia. The parcels contain houses, condominiums and medical facilities.Koch, Robert, "Spring Hill residents: We want a park" ''The Hour'' of Norwalk, Connecticut, January 12, 2008 Jefferson Science Magnet School is located in Spring Hill.
