About the Project
Once a grand Victorian entryway designed to welcome visitors to Highland Park, this garden had fallen into disrepair by the late 20th century after decades of alterations and neglect, and in partnership with the Highland Park community, the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy restored the Entry Garden between 2003 and 2005, reviving its historic fountain, reflecting pool, pathways, and formal plantings. Today, the garden features a vibrant mix of spring bulbs, flowering perennials, and pollinator plants—enhanced in 2017—that bring seasonal color, ecological value, and renewed beauty back to this treasured park landmark.
