Reviews
"A pleasant spot with a steep hill and satisfying view. A popular spot for taking pictures, playing hackey-sack, walking dogs, and taking short walks."
"All four seasons are beautiful parks to stay in."
"I lived near here before and it was beautiful all year round. In the summer the fireflies lit the park up. I love the herb garden. It’s tranquil. The bats at night here are wild. I have also seen foxes run through here. For the middle of the city it’s a crazy cool amount of wildlife. I like the one tree with a statue of a face as the base holding the tree. It would be a cute place for a day picnic or just a scenic walk. For being on busy fifth ave it is supremely beautiful. I saw some children’s camps being held over there this summer that looked super cute, and I am also wondering if they might be kids from the Ellis school across the street. I feel like there is so much wildlife concentrated here because of the plant life and large span of land. I see people getting wedding/pregnancy photos here all the time. It is really grand without having to put in any effort. The hills roll in such a storybook way. I would walk my parrot through here and he’d get so excited at all the other birds singing. I wish the shadyside area had more green spaces and I’m very surprised there aren’t that many. Not actually in shadyside. This is great though. It is attached to the creative center behind it that goes up the road towards squirrel hill. I used to live at the intersection of fifth and shady and watching it change through the seasons from my window was a pleasure."
"I love this park because you're so close to the city, lots of cafes and storefronts, but you feel like you're in a completely private garden when within the walls of the park. I look for any and every opportunity to visit this lovely space."
"Beautiful park! Its dog friendly with both concrete pathways and large grassy areas. Also has a ton of beautiful flowers and small gardens- which makes it a popular spot to have family photos taken. I didnt see any public restrooms but there were port-a-johns in a couple places."
