Pittsburgh City Council

Federal Grant to Fund Improvements at Homewood Park.

Written by Amy Whipple

  • HUD awarded $1,666,279 for construction of a field house, amphitheater, and community gathering space.
  • The grant covers only part of the estimated $12–16 million needed for a complete park overhaul.
  • Homewood Park is a priority in the City’s effort to promote equity in neighborhood parks.
  • The bill to accept the grant funds was introduced at this week’s Council meeting, will be discussed in next week’s Standing Committee, and—if approved—will return for final passage in the following regular Council meeting.
