Hoopes Park was created in 1922 when the Hoopes family donated the land to the City of Auburn. The clubhouse was built in 1929. A central pond with a fountain anchors the park, surrounded by gardens, a gazebo, statues, and brick walkways. The Auburn Beautification Commission has been working to replicate the original 1931 planting-bed plans. Since the early 1900s Hoopes Park has hosted summer concert series, art shows, weddings, and community events. Walking around the pond, feeding ducks, and sitting with a book are the daily uses. The park has no playground. Route 20 location keeps it on the approach into Auburn from the east.
