| - Without a doubt one of the best local parks in Pittsburgh. The well maintained roads around the lake are well marked and cleanly paved with clean lines for cyclists and walkers. The lake attracts tons of fishermen of all ages, and the boathouse offers access to casual restaurant (Over the Bar) as well as kayaking, stand up paddle board rentals, etc. The playgrounds all appear clean and safe, with newly replaced rubber matting underneath each one. The park can be busy in the evenings and on weekends, with lots of non-profits organizing charity races etc., but do not be discouraged, there is typically plenty of parking. The loop around the lake is 5 miles, so take a stroll, rent a bike, or head up to the swimming pool on the hottest of days. It's great to see such a beautiful space so well taken care of, and most of all to see so many Pittsburgh residents making active lifestyle choices.
