Age 50+ Guided Hikes: Frick Park

Join your Pittsburgh Park Rangers for an age 50+ guided hike series featuring the City of Pittsburgh’s Regional Parks! This hike series will focus on shorter hikes (under 2 miles) for beginner hikers.  All hikes will be a slow-to-light pace with few stopping points throughout! Participants are urged to wear closed toe shoes, wear sunscreen, and pack a water bottle for this hike series.  Registration is not required but recommended for updates and cancellations due to inclement weather. Registration opens March 1st!

Join Ranger Erica to explore the northern most section of Frick Park! This hike will start along the Frick Park Bowling Greens in the Point Breeze neighborhood and make a one-mile loop while learning about Pittsburgh’s birds of prey! Participants should be comfortable walking up & down gradual slopes, on compressed stone terrain, and downstairs. This hike will be a slow gradual pace with time for multiple stops to learn about the different birds of prey!

Meet your Park Ranger: Ranger Erica started in 2017 as the first ranger in Frick Park upon completing her degree in Environmental Science at Duquesne University. Her love of the outdoors and desire to promote safe recreation made her fall in love with her job description immediately. Her passion is making all ages and capabilities comfortable when exploring the city’s greenspaces through proper education and guided experiences!
