...our community lost ours.
In 2009, our connection to our park was exploded. And we've felt (and seen) this yawning chasm in our hearts ever since.
But after 16 years of hard work begging, complaining, and cajoling, in 2025 our li'l bridgey was reborn!
Come join us on a run (or walk) into Riverview Park via what many are calling the "Wonder of Brighton Heights" and "neat": the new Davis Avenue Bridge (LI'L BRIDGEY)! The event is May 30th, 2026 and begins at the Davis side of li'l bridgey, heads into Riverview park, around the Allegheny observatory and back down to finish where it started.

The Swissvale Mile is a 100% volunteer organized event funded by registrations, sponsorships, and donations.
