* South Side Park

Efforts continue to reclaim a 64 acre park that extends from Josephine St. below to the heights of the Slopes. In this wooded hillside are streams, ball fields and footpaths. Volunteers have removed invasive plants and helped build its trails. Helping trim the aggressive knotweed and vines are a small herd of bovids, brought in for a few weeks as part of the Annual Goat Fest. With funding from The Brashear Association, South Side Slopes Neighborhood Association partnered with Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy, Landforce and the Student Conservation Association to create this neighborhood asset. Friends of South Side Park manages its ongoing work.
