Wow, another park opens. Some interaction expected.

Parks are great, of course. But, I'm longing for parks where coaches can interact with kids so we can learn to better play with others. The music is great. The trails are great. Hope to see you there.

Perhaps we can do some open water swimming there?

27th & Water Streets in the SouthSide Works

The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), WYEP, the City of Pittsburgh and Riverlife have teamed up to bring you "Rhythm 'n' Flow" - a special event to celebrate the Grand Opening of South Shore Riverfront Park and Amphitheater.

Join us for an exciting evening on the riverfront in this spectacular park. Hosted by Cindy Howes, WYEP Morning Mix host and producer, this family-friendly, FREE event will feature the fun indie pop sounds of Delicious Pastries and the high-gain electric/punk/indie rock of White Wives . Kids can enjoy arts and crafts courtesy of the Citiparks Roving Art Cart. Light snacks and beverages provided by Hofbräuhaus Pittsburgh. Bike Valet provided by BikePGH.

Walk there, bike there, drive there - just get there!

This world class urban park project has transformed the industrial riverscape at the Monongahela River shoreline into a key link within Pittsburgh’s beautiful trail system. The new park will eventually provide access to the river for recreation, entertainment, a private marina, water taxi service and public docking for recreational boating.
