Highland Park (the public park) encompasses the northern region of the neighborhood. Its main entrance is clearly marked by two bronze sculptures by Giuseppe Moretti atop Ionic columns on each side of the Highland Avenue. Its Stanton Avenue entrance features another Moretti pair of sculptures on grand pedestals, depicting two groups of lean, heroic youths taming wild horses.

The park was founded in 1889, and opened in 1893 after Pittsburgh Director of Public Works, Edward Bigelow, spent more than $900,000 in city funds to buy the land, parcel by parcel, from farmers. In 1898, Bigelow’s cousin Christopher Lyman Magee created the Pittsburgh Zoo as an attraction to encourage customers to ride streetcar lines which Magee owned and which ran from East Liberty to Highland Park. A 190-year-old farmhouse, which has been used as a park office and summer campsite, still stands within the park near the “Farmhouse Park” children’s playground.

FUN FACT: Highland Park was named after surveyor Robert Hiland, though all instances of “Hiland” were changed to “Highland” in 1890. Highland Park was originally a “streetcar suburb,” with residents working and shopping in nearby East Liberty. It remains a predominantly residential neighborhood to this day, and the homes are larger and more spaced out than in many other parts of the city.
