For the last few years, the entire City of Pittsburgh has been a playground for my kids every summer.  From participating in the Carnegie Library’s Summer Reading Challenge and attending the Pittsburgh Project summer camp to getting creative at Citiparks’ Roving Art Cart and splashing around at local spray parks, Pittsburgh has been our premier destination for low-cost summer fun.

Kids just want to have fun this summer! Summer16 is how we get there. We have PNC Bank to thank for making sure that all parents can access pghsummer16.com to find summer activities in Pittsburgh for their kids.
