Oakwood Park
Oakwood park is home to a magnificent old stone resovoir and the school bell of the elementary school which formerly stood at this site. Older people at the park talk about swimming in the reservoir in defiance of the local police when they were children. The school was closed in 1971. The school and reovoir can be seen in this photo: http://images.library.pitt.edu/cgi-bin/i/image/image-idx?rgn1=dc_su;op2=Not;rgn2=dc_su;xc=1;g=imls;q1=oakwood;q2=homewood;size=20;c=hpicasc;c=hpicchatham;c=hpiccma;c=hpichswp;c=hpicmonroeville;c=hpicnpl;c=hpicoakmont;c=hpicphlf;c=hpicpitcairn;c=hpicpointpark;c=hpicusc;back=back1340626851;subview=detail;resnum=5;view=entry;lastview=thumbnail;cc=hpichswp;entryid=x-msp117.b005.f02.i04;viewid=PPS1702.TIF#

Famous quotes containing the word park:
“Borrow a child and get on welfare.
Borrow a child and stay in the house all day with the child,
or go to the public park with the child, and take the child
to the welfare office and cry and say your man left you and
be humble and wear your dress and your smile, and don’t talk
back ...”
—Susan Griffin (b. 1943)
