OUR MISSION AND VISION
Improving quality of life for the people of Pittsburgh by restoring the park system to excellence in partnership with government and the community.

YOUR PARKS MATTER
Parks thrive when they have sun, soil, rain…and you. You ensure programs are offered, trees are planted, capital projects are funded, flowers are tended to, research is pursued. There is nothing the parks can’t do with you behind them.
