The Friends of South Park have gifted a bocce court and two horseshoe pits to South Park! These courts are located at Edgebrook Field off Corrigan Drive and north of the black and yellow playground. The installation of both courts was made possible by William “Dirt” Dugan Landscaping out of Finleyville, PA.
Horseshoe Pits |
hey are free to use by anyone, and the bocce balls and horseshoes are located in the gang box on the premises. The gang box was donated by Mascaro Corporation.
Tom Woods, Co-Chairman of the Friends of South Park, began this project two years ago and the Friends of South Park would like to thank him for his vigilance and patience throughout this entire project! Thank you, Woody!
The Friends would also like to thank the Allegheny County Council, parks directors, Andy Baechle, and Deputy Director Clarence Hopson for making this possible. Donations are from Bill Kelly, Dan Wahl, Allegheny County workers and all of the people that supported the various activities and events that were held by the Friends of South Park!
This makes the fifth gift to the park; previous gifts include a 20-station fitness trail at the gazebo, lighted fountains at the gazebo and game preserve, a solar light on Corrigan Drive and three chess and checker tables located on Corrigan and the gazebo at Maple Springs Drive.
Please enjoy this beautiful addition to our park and remember to keep the area clean and return all items to the gang box! If you have any questions, contact Sharon Adams, the Madam Chairperson of The Friends of South Park, at sadams6528@verizon.net.
