Pricing Snapshot
Wightman Playground sits within Wightman Park in Squirrel Hill North and stands out because the City of Pittsburgh officially documents it as part of a redesign with three distinct play areas for children of differing ages and abilities. The park plan also includes accessible restroom facilities, walking paths, new entry plazas, and a community shelter. Families looking for an urban neighborhood playground with intentionally inclusive planning will find this one more promising than a typical city park stop, especially for mixed-age siblings. It is best treated as a strong inclusive neighborhood playground, even though the public city pages do not publish the same equipment-by-equipment detail available for some destination parks.
