About
Improvements made to parks owned and controlled by the city of Pittsburgh for which no lease has been obtained are expensed as capital project costs. The Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy capitalizes capital project costs incurred during the renovation and preservation of the parks when the organization holds a lease or leasehold interest in the properties or land being improved by the project. Capital projects: PPC and the city of Pittsburgh are now executing the 20-year regional parks master plan, created in 1998. This plan is a current blueprint that outlines the needs for park restoration at this stage of revitalization. Physical improvements to the four regional, urban parks have been dramatic and have won many awards. Over the past nine years, private and public funds have been leveraged in the partnership between PPC and the city of Pittsburgh and resulted in numerous exemplary showcase projects and hundreds of ecologically restored acres designed to return the parks to their former glory.
