Introduction to Frick Park Trails

Join the Frick Park Rangers for a tour of Frick Park! Over the course of the summer, this trail series will explore different trails around Frick Park giving everyone new ways to experience the park from multiple different entrances! Participants are encouraged to sign up for event updates, pack water, and wear closed toe shoes for safety. These hikes will be easy-to-moderate pace and under 2.5 miles. These events will occur every first & third Thursday from May-September from 5:00-6:30PM. Please note that the meeting location will change each month. The first hike of the month will focus on larger, main pathways and will be a slightly shorter and easier hike while the third Thursday’s hike will be more single-track trail based and potentially higher milage. Participants should be comfortable walking on crushed stone terrain, up and down slopes, and crossing potentially slippery boardwalks. Friendly, leashed dogs are welcomed.

This hike will be meeting at the Blue Slide Playground entrance to Frick Park (use nearest residential address of: 2466 Beechwood Blvd.) at 5:00. Street parking is plentiful and/or park on English Lane (behind the playground). During this hike we will explore the Squirrel Hill entrance to the park and explore the trail networks beyond the paved Riverview trail segment. This hike will be about 2.2 miles long. There will be a port-a-john near the entrance, participants should bring their own water bottles. This hike will be a short descent and a very gradual slope for about half the hike. We will walk at a slow to moderate pace. Please be prepared for mud and wear closed toe shoes with good traction.
