Play Around Pittsburgh: Be A Good Neighbor Block Parties

The Fall 2022 Be A Good Neighbor Block Parties were a major success! The University of Pittsburgh held four block parties with a totally of almost 600 long-term and student residents in South Oakland, North Oakland, Oakcliffe and Oakland Square. Our final West Oakland block party is being held on Tuesday, September 27 from 5:00PM – 7:00PM on the Trees Hall Lawn.

The block party featured tables from various Oakland-based vendors, including organizations such as Carnegie Library, Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, Pitt’s Student Office of Sustainability, free food provided by Cilantro & Ajo food truck, and games and activities provided by the Playful Pittsburgh Collaborative. Students and community members had a chance to connect and celebrate the start to the new school year as the forged new relationships for the semester to come.
