McKnight Playground

The climbing structure keeps younger kids busy while older ones claim the basketball court — it actually works out pretty well for families with mixed ages. Throw in a soccer field and a big open grass area and you’ve got enough room for everyone to spread out without feeling on top of each other. The BBQ area is the real draw on weekends; locals know to get there early if they want a good spot. Grab a bench, fire up the grill, and you’ve got yourself a solid afternoon in a straightforward Pittsburgh neighborhood park.
