Highland Park The Highland Park Neighborhood of Pittsburgh

Come on out for a Walk in the Woods (the park) on Wednesday evening, September 8, 2010 at 6:30pm. We start at the fountain, walk in the woods as much as we can, and end back at the fountain about an hour later. The walk is fun for everyone but keep in mind that paths and steps in the park can be uneven.

Let's take a walk in the park!Once again the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy is sponsoring walks in the four major Pittsburgh Parks. Each walk is led by volunteer docents who can tell you about what's going on in the park, park history, and can talk about the many different types of plants you'll see in the parks.The walks in Highland Park are scheduled for June 6 and August 1.  (There is no walk in Highland Park in July due to the Independence Day holiday.)We meet at the restored fountain and gardens at the North Highland Avenue entrance to the park at Bunkerhill Street. Please arrive promptly so we can begin the walk at 6:30 pm as scheduled.
