Pleasant Hills Arboretum

"Always beautiful in the fall! Well maintained local "mini-park". Trail is short but gives a decent cardio workout as it goes slightly up hill. Ample parking, great for kids to see so much nature"

"The Pleasant Hills Arboretum is one of our favorite places to take hikes. We and our dog frequently visit and walk the interesting trails that wind through the forest and the meadows. The people that work at the arboretum do a great job, and are friendly to visitors. We are fortunate to have such a nice asset in our community."

"I find myself stuck in a hotel in West Mifflin, PA, just outside Pittsburgh waiting for a vehicle repair. I was looking to spend some time outside on a gorgeous summer day close to the hotel. I found this park on Google maps and decided to give it a try. Google got me pretty close, but was a block off. It is in the middle of a neighborhood, so I luckily saw a sign pointing to the Aboretum. What a beautiful place. It's not huge, but there is a nice hiking path, some educational signage, a few story telling boards for kids, and lots of wild flowers. The trees around the small meadow provide plenty of shade. Above all, this is a very peaceful place. Walking along the path under the trees I encountered three deer and a lot of squirrels. The signs said there were opossum in the area, but I did not see any. I also found what looked like a lecture area with wooden benches and a lecturn in the middle of the woods. Over all this was a very pleasant experience. I would definitely come here often if I lived in the area."

"Small area gazebo and walking trails including a nice story trail when you are able to read a children's book as you make your way along."

"A decent little park for a quick hike. Really good for youngsters. Trees are marked which is nice. Deer can be seen if you are lucky and stealthy."
