  ...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 community family-friendly fitness event. Choose from a one mile timed race or a dog-friendly, family fun walk. The Swissvale Mile is a 100% volunteer organized event funded by registrations, sponsorships, and donations. In addition to supporting our community, this event is a fun way to be active and to get to know the neighbors and neighborhood.

  ​Your involvement makes a direct positive impact on our community! Since the Mile was founded in 2014, proceeds from the Mile have been used to support many worthwhile causes including the Woodland Hills Chromebook Fund (helped provide Chromebooks to students forced to go virtual in 2020), The Swissvale Orioles Baseball and Softball Association, the Swissvale Community Enrichment Fund, our Swissvale K-9 Officers and the annual Swissvale Juneteenth Celebration!

  For the 4th year, are partnering with Swissvale Rotary to multiply our local impact and support their work in the community! The Rotary provides annual funding to Carnegie Free Library of Swissvale, the Swissvale Senior Center and Community Days and has donated to the Woodland Hills Foundation Backpacks of Hope, both the Swissvale and Union Baptist Church food pantries, the WH Girls’ Basketball team and the Swissvale/Braddock Football organization. Last year we were able to contribute $3,000.00 to Swissvale Rotary from our proceeds!

  Thank you for being involved!
