Our kids love this park. From the multiple play places to the magically large sand box filled with…read moretrucks, they enjoy every visit. There are play places for different ages, the soft bouncy ground around the play places, and benches around the sandbox and nearby for parents to sit close while letting the kids independently play. In terms of potties, there's a porta potty nearby but this is probably the big thing that's lacking at this park. There are other fields, courts, and hiking paths at this part too. Given it's so close to our home it really does have it all. They also regularly host Franklin Park Borough events here, which is really fun! Check out Blueberry Hill next time you're looking for a park outing!

We absolutely love Bruno Sammartino Park, also known as Sangree. It's one of those places that has…read morea little bit of everything and is perfect for families or just getting outside for a bit. The fenced-in basketball court is a huge plus. My boys are here at least once a week playing pick-up games with friends. It's always active but never too crowded, and the fence gives some peace of mind since the balls stay in play and off the road. There's also a nice pavilion that's great for birthday parties or just grabbing some shade while the kids run around. The baseball field gets good use during the warmer months, and the walking path is perfect for a relaxing stroll or letting little ones ride their bikes. The playground is clean and well-kept. Whether it's shooting hoops, playing on the playground, or just getting some fresh air, Sangree has become a regular part of our week.

The planning commission is looking for grants for a $3 million dollar upgrade. That would relocate the play area away from vehicle traffic.

Yes, there is a pool, playground and baseball field here. But there's so much more that I was…read moresurprised to discover. I was simply looking for a park where I could enjoy my lunch outside and I was near Bellevue Memorial Park. Google found it for me, I had no idea it was even there. After I enjoyed my lunch, I walked around the shelter where I had set up shop because I thought I saw a trail. I ended up finding a map posted in the park that actually listed several miles of trails that mostly lead through the woods. I returned a week later when I had the time to devote to some exploration. The trails themselves are not blazed but they are easily navigable and there are signs at all the trailheads. Most are not loops but meet up with other trails and you're never far from a road. I wandered the squirrel, falcon, fox, herron, nettle, deer, salamander and rabbit trails. The trails are well-maintained. Expect some elevation as I encountered lots of ups and downs. Be cautious, too, of water crossings. I also saw signs for a health and fitness trail that I will be back for once the weather is warmer. There is a small parking lot by the pool that is I think the easiest spot if you're there for the trails but there are also places to park along the sides of the road. I imagine in the warmer months (especially on the weekends) parking will be hard to come by with both the playground, ballfield and pool sharing this space. I had a good morning of hiking, though. I heard birds during my hike and even spotted a blue jay. Several deer crossed my path while, ironically, I was on the deer trail. Ramps were also set up throughout the trails for mountain bikers. While I like knowing that I'm not far from a main road it can also take away from my enjoyment of my hike when the songbirds are competing with the traffic. But deeper into some of the trails it is easier to get lost in the nature surrounding you.

The best part is that if you look closely, you will find that someone has set up little gnome, faeries, and mushroom houses and scenes throughout the property. Usually in and around trees. Finding the little ceramic figures just living their lives in the forest makes for a fun kind of scavenger hunt. And, oh...there are little trolls as well.

This is a cute little park in Millvale next to Strange Roots Brewing. I had heard about this park…read moreonline, and wanted to see it with my own eyes. There is a sign welcoming you to the park, and some benches, picnic tables, and a basketball court. There is a garden with lots of flowers and native plants. There is also a small dirt track for riding bicycles around in a circle. My favorite thing was a really colorful mural painted on the building next to the park. There are a few parking spots here also. Future plans include building a large Raccoon Sculpture in the center of the park, and I am looking forward to seeing that . . . Cheers!

If you want a great city park but don't want to deal with the heavy crowds at Frick or Schenley,…read moreyou really need to check out Riverview Park up in Observatory Hill. It's a total hidden gem on the North Side. Because of how heavily wooded and steep it is, you instantly feel like you're deep in the woods even though you're only a few miles from downtown. The hiking trails are excellent, especially if you want a bit of a workout on the hills; and since it gets way less foot traffic than the other major city parks, it's incredibly quiet and peaceful. The real crown jewel, though, is the historic Allegheny Observatory sitting right at the top of the hill. It looks amazing against the trees, and they actually run awesome, free night tours where you can look through the old telescopes if you call ahead for a reservation. Plus, the park has a solid off-leash dog area, a pool, and they host free outdoor concerts in the summer. It's just a great, low-key spot to get outside without ever leaving the city limits.

They had live music and some of the food stands that you typically see at the arts fest in this section. I was so excited when I heard they were keeping it, especially since we missed the Allegheny Overlook. They put down fake grass with lots of tables and chairs (even rocking chairs too) facing the stage. I attended the PGH Opens there last night which included extra food trucks and gift card giveaways in addition to the music and Pgh Mobile Bars. The space is comfortable and family friendly. The mobile bars offer a happy hour on weekdays with $2 off cocktails. I tried the Goodlander Strawberry Basil cocktail with vodka and it was delicious! I recommend stopping by next time you are downtown to catch a local band and have a cocktail. It's open Tues. - Sun. from 11 am - 9 pm. They also have free yoga on Saturday mornings!
