Perhaps my sheltered existence in the NPW did me dirty because as soon as the sun went down, and the night sky appeared so did the bugs. It wasn't just one bug but an army of persistent bugs that were not friendly at all. They had one goal in their hive mind, ATTACK!!!! While I can't blame the park for the bugs per se, I wanted to leave the park ASAP before my arms were devoured.

It's a perfect reminder of how corporatization and privatization ruins most things in last stage capitalism. A whole family can ski here and it doesn't break the bank. Wow, we are so lucky to have this! I've only been for skiing/boarding but I'm sure the rest of the park is swell, too.

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.

I don't often make it to this part of town but I saw the sign for Pleasant Valley Park a few months…read moreago when driving by and vowed to return for a hike. It was a warmer fall day when I returned. I had checked out the park map online (easily accessible at http://www.pvpark.org/) beforehand. It's a smaller park with only a few miles of trails. But the trails are well marked and maintained. I followed the longer Hank's Trail and while the trail is narrow in spots, I never felt lost. There was some mild elevation but overall the hike was easy. Pleasant Valley Park is good for hiking if you just want to get out into the woods. There aren't really any outstanding features that I saw (like waterfalls or rock formations) but it's a great place to escape for a couple hours.

Voila, Highland Park saved the day. The thing that attracted me most was the playground that featured plenty of shade as well as playscapes that worked for various ages including babies with a soft floor. I also want to highlight that this park features hiking trails and a great view overlooking downtown Pittsburgh. It's tucked into a historic neighborhood so the drive to the park was also pleasant. If I lived in the area, I could see myself frequenting this park. Overall a wonderful experience and we will definitely visit the next time we are in Pittsburgh!
