A TASTE OF HIGHLAND PARK

Fancy. Vibrant. Jazzy. Beautiful. All words we use to describe Highland Park. From the magnificent Entry Garden, to the Super Playground, and everything in between, Highland Park is truly an amazing place to visit! 

Our partners at Commonplace Coffee have turned these words into a delicious blend of coffee that flawlessly captures the aesthetic of the park. 

The Highland Park Blend is the fourth installment of the Commonplace Coffee X Pittsburgh Parks collaboration, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do! You can stop by your local Commonplace Coffee shop for a cup or purchase a bag online.

EXPLORERS CLUB CLEAN UP

On Saturday, March 26, members of the Explorers Club of Pittsburgh braved the cold and windy weather for a clean-up event on Mount Washington. However, this was no ordinary litter pick, and the special skills of these climbers were put to use! 

With support from a variety of local organizations, mountaineers repelled down Mount Washington to retrieve trash on the hillside. Everything from garbage bags to spin scooters were retrieved and hoisted back up the hill!
