Looking for a good spot to rec climb for fun,
Try that park where they hold the vintage car race in the summer. It's over near Carnegie Mellon; is it Schenely Park? That's a nice place. I used to go there on Sunday mornings to do laps on my motorcycle.
Frick Park is fine. I mountain biked all through there at all times of the day. There's a nice parking area off Braddock Ave where all the dog-walkers park because there's a big open grassy field. I'm sure you could find a tall tree to climb on the edge of the grassy field and I really doubt the dog walkers will bother you.
I am not being smart here,I have about 35 acres up here in Lawrence County. Liability is getting to be a huge thing.There is no way I would let anyone on my property to climb with out some kind of legal waiver and proof of liability insurance. No offense is meant to anyone,but I have heard some horror stories when it comes to land owner liability.
A friend of mine had a 2 kids on one quad wreck on his property. He never gave them permission to ride there. The kids parents sued my friend and won. They took all the insurance would pay and then some.
I have since put up fences and no trespassing signs,not to be a jerk. But I am worried about loosing everything I have worked for,to some illegal trespasser and a court that does not care about a land owner.20 years ago I would not run a fly off of my place,today you are nuts if you do not.

yards to get to the pile.My buddies wife had chased them off several times,before that day. It did not matter the jury awarded them the max. The jury ruled that my buddy should have put up warning signs and barricades,even though it was private property that was clearly posted. To me the one responsible was grandpa. I do not trust juries at all. Juries are to easy to be swayed.
