10 Things to do in Squirrel Hill South That You Shouldn't Miss
Pittsburgh has been remade and reimagined. Think 24 miles of riverfront trails, beautiful parks and historic attractions. Home to 90 neighborhoods, the ‘Burgh feels authentic and unpretentious. No visit is complete without a trip to the Strip District or PNC Park, a ride up the Duquesne Incline or a stop at The Andy Warhol Museum. Architecture buffs love Pittsburgh for the amazing downtown buildings. Hollywood producers, do, too—the city has even been called the “Hollywood of the East."

Situated in the heart of Oakland, Schenley Park has come to be Pittsburgh’s civic park. Created in 1889 with land donated by heiress Mary Schenley, the park now contains 456 acres of trails, woods, and attractions. A daily destination for university students, business-people, and outdoor enthusiasts, the park also hosts major annual events such as the Vintage Grand Prix and the Pittsburgh Race for the Cure. Visitors to Schenley Park can spend a morning at the remarkable Phipps Conservatory, enjoy lunch and a concert at the Schenley Park Cafe and Visitor Center, relax on Flagstaff Hill, play a round at the Bob O’Connor Golf Course, head to the Schenley Oval Sportsplex for ice skating or summer sports, or take a dip in the swimming pool. And of course, the trails offer a refreshing and convenient escape from the city. The Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy restored the Schenley Park Cafe and Visitor Center in 2001 and operates the space today with event and culinary partners, Eat'n Park Hospitality Group. In 2005, the Parks Conservancy worked with City of Pittsburgh crews to rehabilitate the Phipps Run stream channel that stretches from behind the Visitor Center down to Panther Hollow Lake. Restoration of the Panther Hollow Watershed is continuous, with the ultimate goal of restoring Panther Hollow Lake to a water quality that will once again allow for recreational use.

I live very close to Schenley, absolutely love it. It is a great place to walk and exercise. It is kept well by the city. The bridle trail is the best to walk on, also check out the Panther Hollow area.

A wonderful neighborhood movie theater with four screens and sometimes five movies. I started coming here in 1945 when they had 17 cartoons at 10:30 am to be followed by a 1 pm feature film all for a quarter. I loved it then and I love it now. How fortunate we are to have the Manor. We used to have the Beacon, the Squirrel Hill, the Enright, the Strand, the Schenley that were movie theaters all nearby. The Manor continues to please. They cater to young and old in remodeled comfort. They now have a bar and selected food. The quality remains high all these years. The Manor is our little piece of Hollywood . Although the balcony no longer exists and our one theater is now four you can still meet your friends and street parking is free after 6pm.
4. Frick Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 104 reviews
The largest of Pittsburgh's historic regional parks at 644 acres, Frick Park is also the youngest. Although Henry Clay Frick bequeathed the original 151 acres to the city in 1919, the park did not open until 1927 after additional land had been acquired. Most recently, 106 acres were annexed to the park as part of the process that created the Summerset at Frick Park housing development and restored the Nine Mile Run stream valley. Today, Frick Park stretches from its northern borders in Point Breeze down to the Monongahela River. Known as Pittsburgh’s woodland park for its extensive trails throughout steep valleys and wooded slopes, Frick Park is an ideal escape from the noise of the city. Birding enthusiasts love to visit Clayton Hill, where well over 100 species of birds have been recorded. Children flock to the famous Blue Slide Playground and learn about nature at the Frick Environmental Center. The park also features red clay tennis courts, baseball fields, and the only public lawn bowling green in Pennsylvania. The Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy has completed extensive ecological restoration work in Frick Park since the Conservancy’s first capital project in 2000, the restoration of Reynolds Street gatehouse entrance. Currently, the Parks Conservancy is working to rebuild the Frick Environmental Center to replace the burned-down structure and create an urban hub for environmental education in Pittsburgh.

We have been to Frick a couple of times. There are several entrances, the one by some tennis courts has a parking lot and the one by the dog off leash area did not seem to, but I found street parking with no issue. I went to the dog off leash area and loved it. It was a nice walk in from the street so my dog got a little bit of energy out. The off leash area was very large and basically dirt/mud depending on recent weather. But the dogs and owners when I was there were very friendly and both my dog and I loved it. I would like to walk some of the trails and explore - maybe next time!

Floating is one of those activities that you really have to experience before you can fully understand the concept. What a great relaxation alternative to massage. Levity was a welcoming and calming environment. The staff member who greeted us was friendly and accommodating - and easily adjusted to our personalities to calm our fears. She explained the entire process, eased our concerns and really allowed us to experience the float on our own terms. I look forward to visiting again and reaching total relaxation quicker than the first time.
