Beautiful Park And Lots of activities to do. The best part is the Cherry Blossom in different variety along the lake Dr. Thank You for Planting those beautiful trees, Pittsburgh Sakura Project.

It’s a man-made lake, the focal point of Pittsburgh area North Park. Apparently very well planned, it is built as a catchment along the stretch of Pine Creek. As such, it has sustained wildlife within the park.👏👏👏. 😎There are notable Canada geese and wild ducks. 😊 On occasions, there are deer and their fawns. On several areas along the lake edge are protected pockets of marshes, home to many songbirds. Wild flowers have strewn themselves along the edges as well.😎😎😎 It is a recreational lake: providing a venue for fishing, kayaking and paddle boards but no swimming (which is made possible in a separate pool built to north of the lake. Surrounding the lake are paved trails as well as walking and biking trails in the immediate wooded areas. The surrounding manicured grass and shelters provide areas for picnics.
