Boyce Park
Situated on 1,096 acres just east of Pittsburgh in Monroeville and Plum, Boyce Park is named for William D. Boyce, founder of the Boy Scouts. Boyce Park is the only location for downhill skiing and snowboarding in the county and features ski lifts and a ski lodge. The park also features snow tubing, archery, tennis, playing fields, a wave pool and one of two Board, Blade and Bike attractions in the county parks. In addition, Boyce Park has a nature center, a restored Carpenter homestead, and several picnic areas named with Boy Scout themes.

In 2015 with generous funding from the PNC Foundation, the Allegheny County Parks Foundation, together with the Allegheny County Parks Department, launched a systematic evaluation of natural resources and ecological assets in the parks beginning with Boyce Park. We partnered with the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy (WPC) to conduct the first Ecological Assessment and Action Plan to provide a framework for project implementation to protect, preserve and improve the environmental health of the park.
