Schenley Park
A large city park in the Oakland district, surrounded by forest trails, an ice rink and a golf course. It is the backyard of university students.
The park covers about 185 hectares and is next to Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh. The Phipps Conservatory is at its entrance. Inside the park are wooded trails, running tracks, a golf course, an outdoor ice rink in winter and free outdoor movies in summer. Flagstaff Hill's grassy slope is a great place for a picnic with a view. Entry is free, and it is a good place for a stroll after visiting the museums.
