During her lifetime, Helen Adams Hamilton was passionate about helping kids thrive.

Her family owned a hotel in Meade, Kansas, and they helped local children on a daily basis.

According to Helen’s daughter, Suzanne Hamilton, “Every day there were a couple of children who came by the hotel after school and received a meal.”

To honor her wishes to help children, Hutchinson Community Foundation, City of Hutchinson and Hutchinson Civitan Club partnered with the Helen Adams Hamilton Fund to build George Pyle Park playground.
