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:
“Is a park any better than a coal mine? What’s a mountain got that a slag pile hasn’t? What would you rather have in your garden—an almond tree or an oil well?”
—Jean Giraudoux (1882–1944)
