PITTSBURGH — Visitors to Frick Park are now greeted with “No Hunting” signs.
Located in the heart of Pittsburgh, Frick Park encompasses more than 600 acres and is home to various wildlife.
During the fall months, Pittsburgh’s deer population is very visible, and for the safety of the community, Pittsburgh Police remind visitors, hunting is not allowed.
“There are numerous children, bicyclists, pedestrians and pets within the parks and hunting of any kind could lead to tragic results. The Departments of Public Safety and Parks and Recreation will enforce the City ordinance in an effort to protect park visitors,” said Public Safety Director Wendell Hissrich.
According to the city, interfering with wildlife in city parks is against the law. That includes hunting, trapping, feeding and/or harvesting.
Pittsburgh Park Rangers have jurisdiction over all Pittsburgh Parks and are actively present in all five regional parks including Emerald View, Frick, Highland, Riverview, and Schenley Parks.
