There’s an open survey to help plan the future features of the Bryant St. Parklet and we’d love your input! http://hpccpgh.org/parklet

The Highland Park Community Council purchased the Bryant St. Parklet (at Euclid & Bryant) this summer, so that we could preserve it as a greenspace for the community. We are embarking on a design process to plan improvements and adjustments so that the Parklet can continue to serve and grow as a beautiful community amenity. 

Step one of that process is a survey process to get input from the neighborhood. Take the survey here: http://hpccpgh.org/parklet.

180 of you have already responded – thank you! Our goal is at least 330 responders, 10% of the neighborhood. 

You can hear more about the Parklet design process at the November 20th HPCC Community meeting (7pm @ St. Andrews).

Calling all ghosts, goblins, princesses, and pirates! Grab your costumes and join us for the Highland Park Community Council’s Annual Halloween Parade! There’ll be treats, tunes, and plenty of Halloween fun for the whole family.

 Saturday, October 25
 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM
 The Fountain at Highland Park
