ROUND HILL FARM EVENTS
Round Hill Park is one of the most unique places in all of the Allegheny County Parks.
Besides the usual wildlife, you can see and interact with farm animals such as cows, horses and sheep. Take a stroll down to the pond and you will likely be met with Round Hill’ s welcoming party, the duck community, and perhaps a Canada goose or two.
There are also two great walking trails and bridle trails for horseback riding. And when the weather is warm, a spray park offers a safe way to enjoy the sunshine— no swimming skills required.
