Thank you everyone for your fantastic feedback! All contributions have been valid and exciting. Today we checked out Frick Park. 19 min drive. Easy route, easy to find. Parking was a putz but not too bad. We entered the park by the blue slide playground as instructed and super easy to find the workout equipment. It was fricken awesome. You can't beat the winter of Pittsburgh 2022-2023. I LOVE Frick Park. Cant wait to spend many a saturday/Sunday there. Droveby Highland park but did not see the work out stuff but definitely need to explore there. Thanks to all excited to see what else. I have been to North park but not the right area I guess. I am excited as heck to check out that workout area.

Very nice to hear you had a great time at Frick! And what a lovely day for it no less! The parks both in and around Pittsburgh are why I have stayed here for so long. I hope you have an excellent time exploring them all.

Glad you found them! Highland Park has 2 circles that surround it but you have to drive into the park proper off of N Highland Ave to drive around Reservoir Drive. The activities are interspersed between shelters.

Reservoir Dr can be easily mistaken for Lake Drive, which surrounds the park in whole, not just the reservoir. Lake Dr loop has a stocked pond, dog park and swimming facilities but does not require you to enter the park to access. You want Reservoir Dr. Just type in 120 Reservoir Dr on GPS, it’ll take you to the first activity.
