The Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy is seeking proposals to conduct site survey work to support the design of a new Environmental Center at Frick Park.
The Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy was founded in December 1996 by a group of citizens concerned with the deteriorating conditions of Pittsburgh's parks. In 1998, the Parks Conservancy signed an official public-private partnership agreement with the City of Pittsburgh to work together for the restoration of the city's four regional parksFrick, Highland, Riverview, and Schenley. Since then, the Parks Conservancy has raised $43 million toward park improvements, and has recently expanded into other city parks as time and resources permit. Our mission is to improve quality of life for the people of Pittsburgh by restoring the park system to excellence in partnership with the City. Our vision is of a sustainable park system whose landscapes, facilities and programming set world standards of excellence.
