The Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy, in partnership with the City of Pittsburgh, community organizations, and other key stakeholders are developing an improvement plan for Baxter Park in Homewood. The plan will aim to achieve the following goals:

• Enhance Baxter Park to meet community needs

• Help advance goals identified in previous community planning efforts

• Activate Baxter Park

• Develop a plan based on community feedback and consensus

The final improvement plan will be realistic, achievable, and provide a basis for fundraising to further develop and construct the project. Three concepts are available to view for the Baxter Park Improvement Plan on the Engage PGH website. 

Visitors to the website are asked to respond to the concepts and choose a preferred plan in the survey. If certain elements of any of the plans are preferred, survey takers can make notes in the “additional thoughts” section.

Stages of the Plan

Currently, the plan is in its concept development phase, which involves developing design concepts and presenting them to the community for feedback.

Next, it will be in the preferred plan development phase, during which a singular, preferred concept is presented for more detailed community input and feedback. Last, a report will present final improvements, cost estimates, and next steps. That phase is expected to take place this fall.
