The Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy, the City of Pittsburgh, community organizations, and other key stakeholders have designed and planned a fully inclusive Sensory Classroom geared towards learners and park users with disabilities at the Frick Environmental Center (FEC). The project will create a series of different sensory experiences and teaching moments of various sizes and scales, organized along an accessible route that winds through the natural landscape at the FEC. The space will provide opportunities for structured learning, play, discovery, observation, and gathering. The Edith L. Trees Charitable Trust will be funding this planning and design process.
