What to expect
The summer party will be a casual, indoor/outdoor celebration. It will be family friendly, with kids’ activities and childcare providers.
Olympia Park has a playground and outdoor space for enjoying the summer evening. We will also have indoor activities, like great tunes, updates on exciting campaigns, and party games. You’ll get the chance to vote on our member-run, member-elected board of directors, and review our campaign roadmap for the coming year.
Attendees should not feel obligated to attend the entire event. Drop in as you are able—we would love to see you!
Food and drink
Food is complimentary with registration! Please RSVP so that we know how many people to expect.
Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options will be available. All ingredients will be posted for each food item. We will also serve alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
Getting there
The Olympia Park Shelter House is accessible to the following transit stops:
- 40 Mount Washington-Duquesne Heights bus: ¼ mile away, about a 5 minute walk or roll, on a slight grade
- Duquesne Incline: 10-15 minute walk or roll
The parking entrance is on Virginia Ave; turn into the park across from Olympia Street. Additional street parking is available on Hallock St. There are reserved accessible parking spots closer to the shelter.
If you need help with transportation, you can find another PPT member/attendee who can help by posting in the PPT Facebook Group.
Accessibility
The path to the venue from the bus stop is on a slight grade; take care when using a manual mobility device. There is a 400 foot downhill walking path from Virginia Ave to the shelter house.
The venue has indoor bathrooms and an accessible stall, but do not have an access button.
We will be playing music inside the building, but will do our best to play it at a volume that is comfortable for all attendees. Attendees are welcome to party both inside and outside the shelter house; outside will be quieter. Be prepared for variable mid-August weather and lighting.
ASL interpretation is available upon request; please be sure to indicate your needs while reserving your tickets.
COVID mitigation
The party will take place both indoors and outdoors. Masks are not required, but are encouraged; we will have masks available to all at the check-in table.
We encourage everyone to take an at-home COVID rapid test before arriving. Please stay home if you are feeling sick, or have come into contact with someone who has COVID. These mitigation measures will help the party stay safe and fun for everyone in the community!
