MOON MAP

Bounded by 5th Ave., Shady Ave., Mellon Park Rd., and Beechwood Blvd., 412/682-7575, www.pittsburghpa.gov; 6am-sunset daily

Just beyond the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts lies the small but worthwhile Mellon Park. The former grand estate of Pittsburgh mogul Richard Mellon, the grounds contain the Walled Garden, which was designed by landscape architects Vitale and Geiffert. The gardens are maintained to this day by volunteers. Park-goers love to escape in this hidden gem and play among the beautifully tended plants and fountains. On the opposite side of bustling 5th Avenue you’ll find Mellon Park’s Tennis Bubble (reservations $20-30), a set of courts with a bubble-like covering that protects players from the biting cold throughout the winter and early spring, and is air-conditioned in the summer.

Squirrel Hill and Point Breeze
