This Community Input Survey can be filled out until March 15, 2023. Results will be shared with the artist team painting the mural.
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.
Every year, the South Side Slopes Neighborhood Association holds five public meetings open to the community (two of which are parties!)
Meetings start @ 6:30 p.m. unless otherwise noted. We will be updating meeting locations as we get closer.
All South Side Slopes residents are invited to attend. Join us to meet new people or reconnect with long-time neighbors, learn what is happening and planned for the community, and share your ideas, concerns and love for the Slopes.
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.
When: Friday, Dec. 9, 2022, from 6:30 to 9 p.m.
Where: Zenith, 86 S. 26th Street (corner of 26th and Sarah Streets)
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.
Please register by Dec. 2.
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!

Pittsburgh StepTrek is the annual South Side Slopes Neighborhood Association fundraiser that supports projects for the betterment of the community. This family-friendly event combines photography, historic narrative and a sense of neighborhood dependent upon steps. Through this annual event, we keep the city focused on maintenance of city steps throughout the neighborhood.
The pay-what-you-can registration includes access to the digital maps and route narratives that will be distributed electronically by 9pm on Friday, Sept 30. This will allow you to walk the routes during the event on October 1, or anytime after that day.
Merchandise pick-up and day-of registration will take place in the UPMC Employee Parking Lot at 21st and Josephine Streets.
