CITY RENAMES SCHENLEY PARK VENUES

PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh City Council voted to rename the historic Schenley Park Golf Course in honor of the late mayor. The course is now 'The Bob O'Connor Golf Course at Schenley Park', after the Squirrel Hill resident.

While the course will be named after O'Connor, the out-of-bounds will be renamed 'The Bill Peduto No Longer In Play Area at Schenley Park'.

Two other areas of the park received new names as well. The sliding board at the playground was named after the current mayor while the park’s trash receptacles were dubbed “The Tom Murphy Dumpsters.” Council promises to return to its “re-naming” frenzy after summer recess.
