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:
“Linnæus, setting out for Lapland, surveys his “comb” and “spare shirt,” “leathern breeches” and “gauze cap to keep off gnats,” with as much complacency as Bonaparte a park of artillery for the Russian campaign. The quiet bravery of the man is admirable.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
