Sunnyslope is a laid-back green space located on April Ln in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, known for its inviting sled riding hill and peaceful atmosphere. While not officially designated as a dog park, its expansive open field, walking trails, and shaded spots attract local dog owners looking for a pet-friendly place to enjoy outdoor recreation. The park features open areas for dogs to roam, shaded picnic tables, and a small playground, making it family- and pet-friendly for those seeking a varied experience.
Visitors appreciate Sunnyslope’s tranquil environment and beautiful natural setting, ideal for casual strolls, light training, and relaxed mornings under the trees. With easy parking and accessible paths, it’s convenient for owners looking for an easy-to-reach dog-friendly park in Pittsburgh. Note that there is no dedicated off-leash dog area or fencing—so owners will need to keep dogs leashed and well-supervised. The park is also popular for sledding and other seasonal fun, making it a year-round destination for families and pet lovers alike.
I love South Park and I especially love Sunny Slopes!! It’s been a great place to train for my upcoming Greenland Crossing expedition, dragging a tire up and down the slopes. Also many fond childhood memories sled riding there. Beautiful setting!
Great place to take the kids sledding!! Definitely a tough hill to get back up (just like with most decent sledding hills!)
Awesome sled riding hill, and a right of passage if you live nearby. Just need to be careful since it’s a bowl with people sledding from multiple directions.
Great big sled riding bowl!
It’s a very nice spot to enjoy skiing with your family ❤️
