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:
“Mrs. Mirvan says we are not to walk in [St. James’s] Park again next Sunday ... because there is better company in Kensington Gardens; but really, if you had seen how every body was dressed, you would not think that possible.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
