Highland Park Seasonal Pools

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

In 2006, the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy partnered with the City of Pittsburgh’s Department of Public Works to create the Highland Park Seasonal Pools, transforming a flood-prone lawn along Washington Boulevard into a rare wetland habitat that captures stormwater, improves soil infiltration, reduces maintenance challenges, and provides valuable habitat for local wildlife.
