On this Giving Tuesday, how grateful are you for your Allegheny County Parks?
Did you find yourself drawn to the wide open spaces of the nine Allegheny County Parks this year? Did you seek out nature for solace or recreation?
The parks offer more than 12,000 acres of beautiful fields, trees and meadows bursting with wildflowers, with a wealth of biodiversity that is home to many species of birds and animals. There are 280 shelters and facilities available to plan a picnic, family reunion or celebrate a birthday in a safe space. The parks invite you to enjoy them.
They have ponds and lakes for fishing and boating, hills for sledding and bigger hills to hike, ski and snowboard. There's an abundance of space to meditate, exercise and connect with an old friend on a park bench or make a new one. The nine Allegheny County Parks truly have it all, and are free and open to everyone 365 days a year.
On this Giving Tuesday, the Allegheny County Parks Foundation is grateful for you!
Your support of the parks, especially through this very difficult time, preserves their vitality throughout the year and makes all of these amenities possible. Your generosity helps protect and conserve our precious natural resources so that future generations can continue to enjoy them.
We are actively working on several projects that improve, conserve and restore your nine Allegheny County Parks. Among them are: the Sculpture Garden at Hartwood Acres; the recently-completed historic Cascades at South Park; and cleaning abandoned mine pollution in Pinkertons Run in Settlers Cabin. Your support makes these and more projects possible.
