About the Blue Slide Playground
Blue Slide Playground is located within Frick Park, Pittsburgh's largest historic regional park. The park spans 644 acres and offers a peaceful escape from the city with its extensive trails, steep valleys, and wooded slopes. Established in 1927, Frick Park has grown over the years with additional land acquisitions, including the annexation of 106 acres for the Summerset at Frick Park housing development.
Visitors to Frick Park can enjoy bird watching at Clayton Hill, where over 100 species of birds have been spotted. Families often gather at the popular Blue Slide Playground, while nature enthusiasts can explore the Frick Environmental Center to learn more about the park's ecosystem. The park also features amenities such as red clay tennis courts, baseball fields, and a public lawn bowling green.
Managed by the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy, Frick Park has undergone extensive ecological restoration efforts, including the opening of the Frick Environmental Center in 2016. This state-of-the-art facility is a living building and serves as a welcoming hub for park visitors, offering educational programs and inspiring environmental stewardship. The center has achieved Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum status.
The Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy, founded in 1996, works in partnership with the city of Pittsburgh to support and enhance the city's historic parks. Visitors can learn more about the conservancy and its projects at the South Side Office, located at 317 East Carson Street. With the community's support, Frick Park and other city parks can continue to thrive and provide recreational opportunities for all.

Reviews of Blue Slide Playground
"We always love coming to see the park and meeting other Mac Miller fans."
"This is one of our favorite Pittsburgh city playgrounds! Be ready for multi level fun!"
"Such an awesome park. We made a point of stopping in on our way through back to Wisconsin. We had a great time. Everyone used the blue slide lol. Some nice people borrowed us their cardboard to really get going down that thing !! Had a great time, thank you !!"
"As advertised We visited this park at my daughter’s request as she is a Mack Miller fan. It was clean and well kept. It has a neat layout with small tunnels for kids to explore. Oh, and it had a blue slide for kids."
"When we were there the park was full of families with a lot of kids using the slide. There also was a boy selling ice tea at the entrance for charity, a little league baseball game, pick-up basketball and much more. Our sons, 24 & 16, listen to Mac Miller and wanted to go to this park. We listened to his music during our visit to Pittsburgh and although not my style I can respect how this park influenced him. It was fun to watch my sons also use it, in a respectful manner."
