In order to be a voting member of the South Side Slopes Neighborhood Association, you must attend at least 2 meetings and/or events per year.
Focusing on the front-facing façade of your home, we will have prizes for: 1) Best Simple Planter (for those with little space but go above and beyond with a single pot or window box)
2) Best Front Garden (for those who have more than a simple planter and want to go all in)
3) Most Popular (where your vote will determine the best out there!)
To be eligible, your garden space must be at least 80% green. We love a good statue, but we want to see your green thumbs at work!
Submissions must be in by Wednesday, June 14th with garden spaces to be ready to photograph by Friday, June 30th.
Voting will occur between July 5th to July 10th and winners will be announced at our annual community picnic at Bandi Schaum Community Garden on July 11th.
Feeling like trekking it? Maps will be available on Social Media around July 5th to help you explore the beautiful gardens and enjoy the scenery.
The South Side Slopes Flower Contest aims to beautify the neighborhood and showcase the gardening talents of our residents. Whether you have a small space or a grand front garden, we want to celebrate your efforts and inspire others in our community. By participating in the contest, you can contribute to a more vibrant and welcoming neighborhood for everyone.
The South Side Slopes Neighborhood Association invites you to meet the candidates running for City of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County public offices. Learn about the issues that are important to them and our community.

The South Side Slopes Neighborhood Association (SSSNA) is soliciting ideas for a new mural on the side of the Arlington Recreation Center (2201 Salisbury St, Pittsburgh, PA 15210).
Climate Change How aware are we of this problem? Is there anything we can do about it? Have we even talked about it?
On Wednesday, March 8th, St. Paul’s Monastery will present a movie on the subject of climate change – The Letter. The film will be shown in the Retreat Center Conference Room – where we have held our Neighborhood monthly meetings in the past. The movie presents how climate change is altering the Amazon, India, Africa, and the Barrier Reefs of Mother Earth. Individuals experiencing these changes were invited by Pope Francis to come to Rome to tell their story, and share their experiences. The film helps us to better understand what is happening to our common home, the earth. Discussion will follow.
Everyone is invited to attend, no cost. Refreshments will be available.
If you plan to attend, please call St. Paul’s Monastery and let them know at 412-381-1188.

The South Side Slopes Neighborhood Association (SSSNA) invites all Slopes residents to its annual holiday party. Zenith has been our gracious host for the past few holiday celebrations and never disappoints! Come and enjoy the delicious food and reconnect with your neighbors.
The SSSNA will provide the food (both vegetarian and meat-based dishes), but if you like, BYO your own adult beverages.
Bring a toy! We will be collecting new, unwrapped toys for the Brashear Association’s annual toy drive.
Join the South Side Slopes Neighborhood Association to cheer on the 39th Dirty Dozen. Bicyclists will ride up Eleanor Street on Saturday October 22, 2022. We will be cheering at 2410 Cobden Street with hot coffee and hot cocoa to drink and serve to the riders. If you’re not familiar, the Dirty Dozen is a bicycle race up Pittsburgh’s 13 toughest hills. Welsh Way is hill #11, and Eleanor Street is hill #12.
On Saturday, Oct. 15, 2022 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. we need a bit of your elbow grease to help beautify the hillside at the corner of Barry & Mission Streets. Through the City of Pittsburgh, the South Side Slopes Neighborhood Association was awarded a Love Your Block grant to beautify the site. Join neighbors by helping to prepare the ground, plant flowering shrubs and perennials and spread mulch. We also hope to level a spot near the top of the hillside and build/place a sitting bench. Join us and bring a friend or three. Lunch is provided!
