Description
Polish Hill, Pittsburgh's Most Vertical Neighborhood
Polish Hill is a small, friendly neighborhood comfortably nestled on the steep hillside between the Hill District and the Strip District. Minutes away from the activity of downtown Pittsburgh, our front porches and doorsteps line the quiet residential streets, welcoming frequent neighborly visits. Polish Hill boasts some of the best views from our hill tops. Our residents range in age from one to one hundred and each calls the other neighbor.
Polish Hill is the home of the West Penn Recreation Center, a full service facility with basketball courts, workout rooms, swimming pool and, of course, West Penn field. West Penn Recreation Center also boasts a skate board park, complete with ramps and a bowl. West Penn Recreation Center also offers a lunch program for our senior residents along with a recreation programs for all ages.
