August Wilson grew up practically next door to the park that now bears his name. And from August Wilson Park, you can experience one of the most spectacular views in the entire city and see art from Alisha Wormsley and Teenie Harris. This is the first park project to be based on the Greenprint for the Hill District, by Walter Hood Design Studio. The Greenprint's aim is to reconnect Hill District residents to their unique landscape and the neighborhood to the city as a whole. Ultimately, it envisions the Hill as a 'Village in the Woods' above the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers. The idea was to make the landscape of the Hill work better for the people who live there, in the ways they already use it. And to communicate that the Hill is a good and decent place, with good and decent people.
