Explore Mt. Washington and Duquesne Heights: MWCDC’s New Visitor Guide

The Mt. Washington Community Development Corporation (MWCDC) has launched a comprehensive visitor guide for those exploring the scenic neighborhoods of Mt. Washington and Duquesne Heights. This guide, developed with support from a generous RK Mellon Foundation grant to create awareness of Emerald View Park initiatives. It offers insights into the area’s rich history, from the iconic inclines to the lush expanse of Emerald View Park.

The brochure introduces visitors to the history and beauty of these neighborhoods and highlights local businesses, showcasing unique shops, dining spots and links them to miles of hiking trails and restoration efforts in the park. Upon opening, visitors are greeted with a detailed neighborhood map marked with key landmarks for easy navigation.

This project was led by Greg Panza, whose vision brought together essential elements that reflect the community’s charm and make the information available for everyone. The brochure can be found at hotels throughout Pittsburgh, making it a great starting point for city visitors looking to explore the area
