Hartwood Acres Park
Temporary Closure
The Hartwood Acres dog park will be closed until further notice for renovations and updates.
Hartwood Acres Park is easily the most unique and scenic park in Allegheny County. Originally designed as a county estate for an equestrian family, Hartwood Acres Park embodies its magnificent past over 629 acres in the Hampton and Indiana Townships. The park features a Tudor mansion built in 1929 by Alfred Hopkins for John and Mary Flinn Lawrence. Visitors can explore 16th century architectural design and English and American antiques in excellent condition during mansion tours.
Along with mansion tours and three-course high teas, visitors may stroll through the gardens or take in a free summer concert at the amphitheater. Other amenities include a dog park, and wooded trails for cross-country skiing, walking, hiking, and horseback riding, and a beautiful meadow.
Unique to Hartwood Acres Park is the reimagined Carol R. Brown Sculpture Garden, which is an outdoor exhibition space for public art that was placed there in the 1980s. The Sculpture Garden opened in 2022 and contains 14 sculptures that can be viewed on an accessible path. The garden helps exemplify the region’s rich cultural heritage while offering a unique experience to visitors of all ages.
The grounds surrounding Hartwood Acres Mansion - including the manicured Terrace, glass-covered Grand Pavilion, and elegant Formal Garden - are available for private rentals from May through October. Additionally, The Stables at Hartwood Acres Park, reminiscent of an English Cotswold Village that once boarded Mary Flinn Lawrence’s horses, consists of courtyards, stalls, and open green space that provides the perfect combination for an indoor and outdoor event space.
