Pricing Snapshot
SummaryFree public park entry.
AdmissionFree
Katherine's Playground is the accessible play area inside Schlanger Park, one of Pittsburg's strongest family park destinations. The city specifically identifies the playground as ADA accessible, and the larger park adds a sensory garden, restrooms, pavilions, a skate park, pool, dog park, and disc golf for families planning a longer outing. This works especially well for mixed-age visits where one child wants playground time and others want broader park amenities nearby.

Notes
Pavilions are available in the park.
