'Parks Are Free' Initiative Calls Neighbors To Use Pittsburgh Parks

Mayor Luke Ravenstahl launched a multi-media initiative to promote Pittsburgh parks Monday, along with Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy, Allegheny Regional Asset District and UPMC Health Plan.

The city has more than 2,000 acres and 33 trail miles of city park spaces for residents to enjoy.

The “Parks are Free” effort hopes to draw families to those parks, an asset that many cities do not have.

More than 200 free events are planned in parks for the summer, such as music festivals, luncheons and other activities.

A full list of those events can be found on parksarefree.com
