The Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy’s Trackhair program is helping open up the trails of Frick Park to individuals with disabilities and mobility challenges—making it easier for more neighbors to experience the beauty of Pittsburgh's parks.

As we work to make parks more accessible for everyone, small actions from all of us make a big difference.

Please remember to keep dogs leashed as this helps ensure trails remain safe, welcoming, and easy to navigate for all visitors. 🐶 And don't forget about our designated off-leash dog areas where our four-legged friends can roam free!

Thanks to our friends the Pittsburgh Park Rangers for helping us keep our trails safe for everyone.
