How is Wilkinsburg for outdoor activities?

Hello, We have two kids and The unemployment rate is 6.0%, which is about average. Median household income is $48,565, which feels on the lower side for the area. It's a a small town city with about 14,165 people. You can expect to pay around $978 for rent here. Crime rate is something to consider -Wilkinsburg sits at 779.8 per 100K. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The weather takes some getting used to. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The suburbs are where most families end up. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

Came here for family and stayed because I love the pace of life here. The public transit is honestly average and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
