HARTFORD PARK Hartford Park, located in the Hartford neighborhood, is the largest of the PHA's developments, with 508 units of family and elderly/disabled housing. Primarily a family development, Hartford Park is comprised of two-story wood row-houses, three-story concrete walk-up buildings, and an eleven-story elderly/disabled high-rise. The high-rise includes a police substation that houses the offices of the Providence Police Department's Public Housing Unit and the PHA's Facilities Management headquarters. First occupied in 1953, Hartford Park once included three additional high-rise buildings that housed family residents. These three buildings were demolished and replaced with low-rise units during an extensive modernization project that was completed in 1997. Like Manton Heights and Chad Brown, Hartford Park has its own community center located on-site.
