Oakwood (Pittsburgh)

Oakwood is a neighborhood in the West End of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States.

Older people at the park talk about swimming in the reservoir in defiance of the local police when they were children.

The Oakwood neighborhood has six distinct flights of city steps, many of which are open and in a safe condition.

In Oakwood, the Steps of Pittsburgh connect pedestrians to public transportation and provide an easy way to travel to neighborhood recreational amenities.
