This is a relaxing greenspace for taking a walk or having a conversation. The park has a surprising number of birds, and for example, this is one of the best places to find night hawks.

This is the oldest park in the City of Pittsburgh dating back to the late 1860s…read more Happens to be one of my favorite parks and I've spent a lot of time here throughout my life. The park is almost 84 acres with lovely green spaces, trees, benches, picnic areas and playgrounds. The park is between Allegheny Center and Allegheny West and is sectioned off. For example, east park is at Mexican War Streets with walking trails. West has Lake Elizabeth and the Aviary. North has walking trails and a decorative fountain. The park is lovely for relaxation no matter which section you're in. Loads of events take place here from Pride events to races, political events, concerts, food drives and more. Absolutely beautiful park. It's become a little more famous in the last year or so as it can be seen in some scenes of the show The Pitt. It's where they've had after shift beers, and a couple of other scenes. To me, it's a park I grew up hanging out at.

I love this park. They have pavilions if you want to have a party there…read more My daughter has cheer practice here, as well as soccer practice. They have three soccer fields. There are two or three playgrounds for younger children. My favorite thing is the walking track. It has small inclines and is a nice peaceful, scenic walk. The view up here is gorgeous. They do a good job with upkeep, and if there is cheer practice, the concession stand is usually open. Overall, probably one of the nicer parks around the MonValley.

Schenley Oval can be considered a center for sports and recreation for Oakland and Squirrel Hill…read more It features a 1 km-long oval, a 400m track, a couple of soccer fields, and tennis courts (free!). In a weekday evening or on weekend, expect to see many people enjoying the oval: jogging, playing soccer, frisbee, and tennis. The oval has two water fountains, and surprisingly one keeps running through the winter. There are restrooms in a small brick building and usually portable restrooms nearby. Schenley drive goes near the oval, providing ample space for free parking. Although this is a friendly and safe area, be careful leaving items there: my book was stolen when I left it for five minutes on Sunday night.

By Ed Skirtich…read more Freedom to dream, sunbath, read and play frisbee at the Schenley Park Overlook plus walk, jog, sprint, and play tennis and football at the Oval and inner track happen on a sunny day. On the benches outside the inner track and outside the oval, friends reunite with each other. Also, while walking along the oval mom and dad's hold their child's hand while walking, young adult joggers slowly trot, mildly jog, jog, and sprint. In Bob O' Connor's Tennis Courts, young adults toss the tennis ball back and forth. They play tennis quietly and patiently with each other. Regardless of your disability, race, gender, and age and size, no one bothers you when you do your activity at Schenley Park. Children's imaginations can flourish at Schenley Park. At the Overloook, a young boy flies his kite while other youth catch frisbee. Also, a young girl kicks a soccer ball with family. Runners are fun to watch because they sweat, pant, or just slowly jog, trot, and and walk. Small tall, skinny, and fat, the runners get their job done. Tennis players don't care what their score is, they just like to have fun and relax. Another interesting thing was a hip drum beats could be heard while going around the oval. Finally at the Overlook, you can read, write, sunbath, or just admire the Downtown Pittsburgh skyline.

A nice walkway surrounding the whole park area for you and your dogs. Also a nice sized pavilion for large groups available to rent for special occasions and outdoor gatherings.

Seating area surrounding the ball fields are somewhat limited bleacher seats so bringing chairs is a good idea. Clean indoor restrooms located near the ball fields.

This is an adorable neighborhood parklet, geared toward little kids. It has a Little Free Library,…read morea large, glass enclosed community bulletin board, pretty gazebo, little pergola, and a nicely landscaped, crushed stone walking path, dotted with brightly colored pinwheels and several park benches, decorated with yellow and pink ribbons. However, I give it three stars. Thinking as a mom, on the left of the stone pathway there's no fence! There is a 90 foot drop down into a gully with broken tree branches, mud and fallen trees everywhere. This is just an accident and a lawsuit waiting to happen. For this reason alone, if Daughter were younger than say, 7, I probably wouldn't bring her here. I wouldn't bring any child here that was very young, and/or didn't listen to stay where told.
