Each of the six beautiful Allegheny County Parks provides various recreational activities to people of all ages. The Boyce Park is a downhill skiing location—it also has a wave pool and can be booked for various outdoor events. The White Oak Park has a wedding garden, a children's playground and also features the famous Angora Gardens. Go golfing, boating or scouting in the scenic Hartwood Gardens, or play soccer or visit an exhibition at the North Park. If all these seem like too much action, just walk your dog at one of the parks and sit by the lake to read a book! Check the website for more details.
Chadwick Park
McBride Park
This city park is located in the neighborhood of Elliott, where the green-space boasts some postcard perfect views of Pittsburgh. The park which sits upon a bluff has impressive views of the Monongahela, Ohio and Allegheny Rivers as well as the downtown skyline. In fact, the park is a must-visit attraction on everybody's itinerary, whether you live here or are just a visitor. During the summer, the park transforms into an open-air movie theater with terraced seating that is perfect for large groups and families. It is sometimes a bit difficult to reach since it is located in a residential neighborhood, however there is on-site parking when you do eventually find it.
