We were thrilled to celebrate the grand opening of CI: Outdoors with the wonderful team at The Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh this week! It is exciting to see our design take shape in the video below, with months of construction compressed into just a few minutes! We have been so grateful for the hard work and dedication of the Children's Institute and the construction team throughout the design and construction process.

Congratulations to the Allegheny County Parks Foundation and Allegheny County Parks on this significant grant award that will advance the County's goal of connecting the county parks to our regional trail network!

We are thrilled to share that the Allegheny County Parks Foundation has been awarded $10.6 million from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to restore abandoned mine lands in Settlers Cabin Park, improve water quality in Pinkertons Run and create a new trail connection to the Panhandle Trail.
This is the largest grant in our organization's history and a transformational investment in the future of Settlers Cabin Park, the Lower Chartiers Creek watershed and the region, allowing us to improve water quality, restore habitat and expand outdoor recreation opportunities. The connection to the Panhandle Trail will enhance access to the park, connect communities and provide a safe pathway that includes direct access into West Virginia, as well as connections to the Montour Trail and the Great Allegheny Passage.
We are grateful to Allegheny County Parks and our many partners whose years of collaboration helped make this investment possible.

We also enjoyed keynote sessions on nature-based design from ASLA CEO Torey Carter-Conneen and meadow expert Larry Weaner, and enjoyed a field trip to the Delaware Botanical Garden. It's always inspiring and energizing to exchange ideas with our landscape architect peers!
