Hale Park

Recreational Facilities

Nestled in Green Tree borough, Hale Park is a cozy 3.8-acre green escape in the midst of Pittsburgh's suburban landscape. This small park offers a nice green space for anyone looking to step away from the suburban surroundings for a while.

With its generous open grassy areas, you can toss a frisbee, kick a ball around, or simply sprawl out on a blanket for some cloud-watching. The thoughtful layout of the park makes it meant for neighborhood get-togethers or just a casual family day out in nature.

Play Areas

For families with children, Hale Park has two distinct playground zones that cater to different age groups.

The larger playground area is where older children can burn off energy on teeter-totters, zoom down slides, soar on swings, or take a spin on the classic merry-go-round. Meanwhile, the little ones have their own medium-sized playground complete with adorable rocking animals, gentler slides, and swings designed for smaller bodies. Both areas are well-maintained, making this park a go-to spot for families in the area.

Picnic Spots

There's a sheltered picnic area placed between the two playgrounds. This setup allows you to enjoy a meal while keeping an eye on the kids as they play.

The covered tables mean your family picnic won't be ruined by a light drizzle, so you can plan that gathering with a bit more confidence even when the weather forecast is iffy.

Location and Accessibility

Just about 5 miles from downtown Pittsburgh, Hale Park sits in a sweet spot that's easily reachable whether you're a local Green Tree resident or coming from a neighboring area. It's close enough for a quick visit but feels removed enough to provide a peaceful retreat from city life.

Activities and Amenities

Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the basketball courts and tennis court available for use. Note that you'll need to leave your four-legged friends at home or tied up away from these athletic surfaces - dogs aren't allowed on the courts.

The park includes restrooms for when nature calls, but these are seasonal amenities that typically close during winter months. From pickup games to family picnics, Hale Park's range of facilities makes it suitable for all sorts of outdoor activities throughout most of the year.
