Edmond was a sleepy little town in the 1970s when the development of Chimney Hill began. Over the course of about 25 years, nine different sections were platted and developed. As a result, we have nine separate covenants governing our association. 

When the first homeowners moved into Chimney Hill they were in the country, settled next to a sheep farm and woodlands. Slowly the area around Chimney Hill began to grow and other neighborhoods developed.

Chimney Hill is bordered on one side by Hafer Park, with its 121 acres of woodlands and myriad of recreational activities. Hafer Park was a landfill until the 1920’s when Mr. Hafer and other city leaders began to convert the property into a recreational area. In the 1950’s baseball players were still sliding into home plate with tin cans rising out of the dirt. Over several decades, Hafer Park evolved into a major recreational area that includes several miles of walking and biking trails, baseball fields, performance stage, exercise stations, sand volleyball court, cool climbing wall, duck pond, several playgrounds, and pavilions.

The original development plan called for a residential area with roads that would connect it to surrounding communities still being built and a commercial area next to the pool. This all changed when the first Board of Directors worked with the developers to stop the through roads, terminate the commercial development, add a second pool and keep the open areas natural and undeveloped.

Today, Chimney Hill is one of a few tree-lined communities remaining in Edmond, with a meandering creek winding through the neighborhood, a thick green canopy over its well-kept homes, two swimming pools, tennis and basketball courts and a inviting greenbelt that hosts a variety of events for the residents.
