Frick Park: run in the dog area, then explore the woods.
A designated off-leash space inside a much larger forested Pittsburgh park.
What the city confirms
CitiParks identifies a designated off-leash exercise area in Frick Park, Squirrel Hill. That permission is limited to the posted OLEA; surrounding woodland walking paths are leash-required.
Park orientation: Beechwood Boulevard and Nicholson Street provide access near Frick's Blue Slide Playground, but the playground is not the OLEA and dogs are not permitted inside playgrounds. Follow posted signs to the dog area.
Make it a longer adventure
Start with the off-leash dog area, then clip the leash on for wooded paths or a creekside walk on Nine Mile Run Greenway.
