Reviews
Such a lovely spot and a great opportunity to learn about the legacy of industry in our area and the ways in which we are moving beyond it and cleaning up our green spaces. The settling ponds and wetlands are beautiful and informative. We did find a little tick on me after our walk so remember to check!
This place comes alive in the last few hours of light. Blackbirds mark their territory and herons keep their distance. Deer wake from day beds and start to forage.
A very pleasant walk around the ponds and wetlands. Went late in summer but it wasn’t too buggy. This is a remediation site for cleaning AMD run off before heading into Chartiers Creek. Used to allow dogs, but now there is a big no dog sign (losing a star Allegheny Land Trust, as this is not cool). Huge shame as it is a wonderful place to walk dogs. It had pretty flowers.
Always a beautiful walk. There are so many different habitats to allow a safe haven for so many animals and plants. It is a unique park. Never crowded and fun to view anytime ofmthe year. It is so interesting to see it in different seasons. As a side note, no pets are allowed.
I absolutely love Wingfield Pines! As an avid birder, nature enthusiast, and photographer, this place is like heaven for me. Wetlands, woods, easy trails, and lots of beautiful wildlife and scenery. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great day out in nature!
