Who’s ready for the heat and humidity of summer? Sure, we can hide indoors in the a/c during the hot days of summer in the Burgh. Or, we can enjoy the golden sunshine while staying cool all season long. That’s right. These five spray parks in Pittsburgh – well, one’s technically not a spray park, but you’ll probably agree it’s still pretty awesome – provide the perfect way to spend a summer day. Even better? They don’t cost a thing.
- Round Hill Park
