BRD300_13 From the Mayor Dear Neighbors, As we continue to invest in and improve our City’s parks and green spaces, it remains a priority to provide safe, family-friendly places for residents to gather with friends and neighbors. Boasting more than 170 parks, parklets, playgrounds and recreational spaces, there are countless ways to enjoy a safe, fun and exciting summer in the City of Pittsburgh. We have made great progress in recent years to develop City programs and services that make living in Pittsburgh more enjoyable for all residents. From welcoming our fourth new spray park this summer to increasing riverfront trails three-fold to more than 75 miles of trails, we’ve made great strides in providing free, fun ways to enjoy the summer weather. This year we’re committing over $16 million to fund essential quality-of-life services—from dek hockey rinks and spray parks, to recreation and senior centers, to playgrounds and ball fields. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing concert or movie in the park, a fun day in the sun for the family or sporting opportunities for all ages—I hope that you and your family will take full advantage of the many great opportunities that surround us here in America’s “Most Livable City.” Sincerely, Luke Ravenstahl Mayor, City of Pittsburgh www.Citiparks.net • 1 Table of Contents EVENTS Riverview Park Heritage Day. 4 Highmark Great Race Summer Soul Line Dancing. 5 Expo. 20 Stars at Riverview Jazz Series . 6 Greenfield Glide. 21 Bach, Beethoven and Brunch. 6 Riverview Park 5K . 21 Mellon Square Concert Series . 7 Brookline Breeze . 22 Reservoir of Jazz . 7 Run Around the Square . 22 Pittsburgh International On Your Mark Youth Challenge . 23 Children’s Festival . 8 Impact Basketball. 23 Pittsburgh JazzLive Bob O’Connor Summer International Festival. 8 Tennis Classic . 24 Dollar Bank Cinema in the Park . 9–11 Frick Park Red Clay Junior Open . 25 Roving Art Cart . 12–13 Paul G.
