Once upon a time isn’t just for the kids. No matter our age, we can still believe in the magic of fairy tales, if only for a brief moment. Pittsburgh’s fairy tale park, which boasts a super playground for the kids, offers plenty of charm and activities for kids and adults.
Drink in the simple beauty of flowers and a flowing fountain when you first arrive at Highland Park. The lush park offers the opportunity to hike, bike, swim, and play volleyball.
