Making the most of Pittsburgh’s parks

With spring comes a temptation to escape the city for the great outdoors, but there’s just not always time to get away to the Laurel Highlands. Luckily, Pittsburgh’s bountiful parks ably fill the void.

Whether you are wandering trails in massive Frick Park, spotting deer in Riverview Park or just finding a patch of grass for a picnic, there’s plenty to keep you busy on your own.

Just as fun is what you can do with family and friends. Citiparks and the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy regularly host programs and events for visitors of all ages, educating and entertaining nature lovers.
