Kids love the blue slides. This is one of the plastic ones, not the big concrete one on the hillside that you need to have cardboard for to slide down.Theres also a hill great for sledding down nearly onto one of the trails, and a giant sloping meadow where I used to launch model rockets. The ones I never found still lay somewhere in the surrounding woods.For me this park is a special place where some the best memories I have were made over the past 40+ years. So visit, and make some of your own!

Called Crazy Park by one and all. Weve been there often but today we are at the dog park. My great-granddog needed some space to run and play. This area is huge. We love it. More importantly, Ms. Hershey loves it, especially when there are other dogs to play with.

I love this part of the park. Easy to find a spot to sit down and relax, and the paths seems to allow for more conscientious distancing.

This is an awesome playground. My daughter loves to go here. They also have a walk way down from the playground you can walk your dogs on, or just to go for a nice walk. They have a basketball court, and a baseball field around the park also. Just a very cool place to go.

This is a great park in a Squirrel Hill. Lots of playgrounds, for all age groups. Theyre built right into the hillsides which makes it more fun. Bridges, tunnels and pathways. Lots of shade trees, benches and tables. Up the hill are basketball courts, a baseball field and bathrooms. The Riverview Trail leaves this person of the park to go into the interior. Lots of fields and areas to play and have picnics. A great place to hangout or exercise.

Clean, friendly people, nice neighborhood. Big blue slide is even fun for adults- you go down faster than you think.

One of the best kids’ parks in the city. Lots of fun to be had on the famous blue slide, jungle gyms, swings, cable climb, and tunnels. My kids always want to stop here and kill some time, and we always end up staying much longer than intended. In the warmer months, you can have a walk in Frick Park, bring a picnic lunch to be had in the nearby lawn area, and play till the kids drop on the playground.

This is one of the better parks in Pittsburgh, but some of the equipment is broken on the playground. Its a nice place to walk your dog and the ground slide you can go down on a piece of cardboard is cool but I notice a lot of fighting between children to use it. I prefer super playground at Highland Park over this park because parents are more likely to look after their kids and the people are generally nicer than in squirrel Hill area

This is one of my favorite playgrounds in Pittsburgh. My kids have been enjoying it since they were toddlers and they are now teenagers and still enjoy it. There are picnic tables and hiking easily accessible. Parking is available in the street or with a small lot near the field.

My kids age 2-10 couldnt get enough of the big slide! Despite having some very very strong wind. We stayed for 2 hours.It was surprise to see even teenagers finding something fun to do in public park.I would like for them to install a large trash bin for the cardboard, visitors bring to the park (for the big slide)... Cardboard got blown everywhere, neighbors cant be to happy to have cardboard end up in yards everyday.We were there during softball game. We had snack bar and bathrooms available. Big !

Beautiful city park (part of Pittsburghs expansive Frick Park) and playground. Surrounded by walking and mountain bike trails, but also has large rolling hills for picnicking, etc. The playground features the almost-famous blue slide, which folks of all ages can slide down with a small piece of cardboard. The playground is also well maintained and clean, and has lots to keep children busy.

Fun, bring cardboard to go on the cement slide. Tough to watch kids though, they are easily out of sight here. Be ready to stay standing and walking to watch them, unless you are comfortable not sweing them for longer periods of time.
