Disc Golf at Knob Hill

Located just a half hour outside of downtown, Knob hill is arguably the best disc golf course near the city of Pittsburgh. Throw a few flicks, huck it and go for a hole in one. It doesn't get any better on a a nice day in the summer.

Bike Riding on the (North Shore & South Side) "Jail" Trail

Enjoy a nice bike ride, walk or rollerblade around The Point across the Hot Metal Bridge and through the South Side. Its a great workout and a very nice way to see the city.

Movies in the Park

Strip District on a Saturday Morning

The Strip District is a one-half square mile area northeast of downtown Pittsburgh. "The Strip." as it is familiarly known, is just that -- a narrow strip of land in a flood plain confined by natural boundaries: the Allegheny River to the north and the extension of Grant's Hill to the south. Taking a walk in the historic strip district is a wonder morning.
