Allegheny Land Trust has purchased an 11.3-acre parcel from a private owner to be added to the Duquesne Heights side of the 228-acre Grand View Scenic Byway Park, bringing the total park acreage up to 239 acres. The parcel overlooks the West End and Route 51, and will be transferred to the City of Pittsburgh with restrictions to keep the land as permanent green space.
ALT used funds from The Heinz Endowments, the Colcom Foundation, Katherine Mabis McKenna Foundation, The Pittsburgh Foundation and the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to purchase the land. The wooded parcel will need some restoration and replanting work to enhance and improve it.
