A new ballot initiative was proposed to raise enough annual funds to address the ongoing need. The ballot initiative aimed to establish a dedicated Parks Trust Fund to invest in high-quality parks for every citizen of Pittsburgh. This initiative was driven by the community, for the community. Neighbors, park users, and enthusiasts were critically involved in building the Restoring Pittsburgh Parks: The Parks Plan through Parks Conservancy community outreach, meetings, and surveys. This community outreach supported a data-driven foundation built to ensure equity across the City of Pittsburgh.
