We're incredibly excited to announce the completion of a mural on the Elizabeth Street Bridge in Hazelwood! Two Hazelwood artists, along with many Hazelwood residents and youth, completed the mural as part of the ongoing work on the Hazelwood Play Trail. The mural (partially seen above), depicts historic places and moments in Hazelwood along with two residents.
Join us to celebrate the ribbon-cutting for the mural on Wednesday August 28th. More information in our events listing below.

Play is the basis for all learning and especially in the early year's of an individual's life. Play is imagining, it's risky and full of trial and error. It's both loud and quiet, spontaneous and planned. It's through these experiences that we build our sense of self and the world around us.

Play is really the work of childhood.” At Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, we understand the importance of play for all aspects of healthy development and successful learning, and this special, playful day for rising Kindergarteners will ensure an optimal transition for their big year!
