August Wilson Park

August Wilson Park is the first park project inspired by the Hill District’s Greenprint, a vision to reconnect residents with their landscape and the city. With support from the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy, the park now serves as a vital link between the community and its surroundings.

Baxter Park

The Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy has developed a community-driven strategy to enhance and revitalize Baxter Park in Homewood, marking the first step toward creating a vibrant, more accessible gathering space for local residents. Over the coming months, the Parks Conservancy and the City will advance the project through detailed design, construction documentation, and permitting. Concurrently, the Parks Conservancy will actively fundraise to support construction, turning the community’s vision for Baxter Park into a reality.

Fowler Park

The Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy is leading an inclusive public design process for the football field and wellness-focused amenities at Fowler Park, guided by the community-driven Fowler Park Master Plan released by the City in 2023.

Frick Park

Since our first project in 2000, the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy has restored key spaces in Frick Park, including the LEED-certified Frick Environmental Center, the Reynolds and Forbes Avenue Gatehouses, and Nine Mile Run.

Hays Woods Park

Hays Woods encompasses 660 acres of undeveloped forest, valleys, and streams along the southeast end of Pittsburgh and across the Mon from Hazelwood and is now home to the largest new urban park project undertaken east of the Mississippi River in 75 years.

Highland Park

McKinley Park

This 79-acre community park is a gathering place for the Beltzhoover neighborhood. McKinley Park, which historians say gives one “a euphoric sense of the countryside,” features children’s play areas, wooded hiking trails, a skate park, sports courts, a baseball field, and a senior center.

Mellon Park

Mellon Square

Mellon Square is a landmark park in downtown Pittsburgh. Built during the city's 1950s Renaissance, the park provides a green oasis that highlights and enhances the buildings around it. The completely restored Mellon Square reopened publicly in May 2014 offers a renewed urban oasis for workers, visitors, and residents, while supporting economic growth in the city’s downtown core.

Schenley Park

In Schenley Park, the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy has restored iconic landmarks like Schenley Plaza, the Visitor Center, and the historic Westinghouse Memorial Pond. Through ecological restoration, improved trails, and revitalized gathering spaces, these projects enhance the park’s beauty, accessibility, and environmental health.

Riverview Park

The Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy has led multiple restoration projects in Riverview Park to enhance its natural beauty, ecological health, and visitor experience. One of the most well-recognized projects is the revitalization of the beloved Chapel Shelter.
