The South Side Slopes Neighborhood Association (SSSNA) wants to showcase your holiday spirit with a home decorating and light up photo event. A photographer will be taking photos of the neighborhood any time starting Dec. 15th thru Dec. 25th, 2023.

The SSSNA would like to encourage neighbors to join the holiday walking tour to see your ho-ho-home shine.
We hope to capture the beauty of the holidays on the Slopes for all to enjoy! Get Clark Griswold crazy or keep it classy, but this is not a contest or a light fight.

The South Side Neighborhood Association is very excited to introduce new board member DrCoralee Toal. Coralee moved to Pittsburgh in 2018 from Oklahoma and then to the South Side Slopes in 2020. Coralee is an OB/GYN for Magee hospital and enjoys biking, skiing, and balloon arch making. She lives in the Slopes with her husband, Austin, and their rescue dog Collins. You’ll find Coralee walking around the neighborhood with her pup and a trash bag, as she believes in keeping the streets clean. So please join us in welcoming this incredible neighbor to our board!
There are now two openings for Board positions. Please contact info@southsideslopes.org if you are interested in joining the Board or a committee. You must have attended 2 meetings or events in the last year to be eligible to join the Board of Directors.

Pittsburgh StepTrek is the annual South Side Slopes Neighborhood Association fundraiser that supports projects for the betterment of the community. This family-friendly event combines photography, historic narrative and a sense of neighborhood dependent upon steps. Through this annual event, we keep the city focused on maintenance of city steps throughout the neighborhood.
A link to the digital maps and route narratives will be sent via email by midnight on October 6. This will allow you to walk the routes during the event on October 7, or anytime after that day.
Day-of registration will take place in the UPMC Employee Parking Lot at 21st and Josephine Streets.
