Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy E-News  April 13, 2012    Dear Robert,     Spring is here, and that means Schenley Plaza is bustling with activity! Come down to Oakland’s oasis and enjoy lunchtime music, Kids Days, concerts, and other free activities. Stop by the kiosks for a bite to eat, or check out the new full-service restaurant, The Porch at Schenley. A visit to Schenley Plaza wouldn’t be complete without a ride on the PNC Carousel, which opens this Saturday, April 14 at noon. The Victorian-style carousel features a menagerie of animals and old-fashioned pipe organ music, and is wheelchair accessible. Operating hours are 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., seven days a week through mid-October.  And don’t forget – if you’d like to ride all summer without tokens, get your Carousel Family Season Pass for only $25. The pass allows two adults and up to four children to ride the carousel at one time and is good for the entire 2012 season. Visit pittsburghparks.org/carouselpass for more information and to purchase your family pass.      Celebrate Earth Day – and See Plans for the New Environmental Center     This year the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy is teaming up with the Frick Environmental Center to celebrate Earth Day. Spend a day outdoors celebrating nature by participating in numerous family friendly, nature-oriented walks and workshops at this free Citiparks event.   We’re excited to show you the designs for the new Environmental Center at Frick Park! Visit the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy tent during the event to see the plans and learn what we have in store for the new Center and outdoor learning space in the park.   Saturday, April 21  11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Frick Environmental Center More info    Volunteers: Thanks to a wonderful response by our volunteers, our Earth Day Work Day is full, but we can use your help at our next Volunteer Work Day on April 29 in Schenley Park!
