A new urban green space has emerged in the form of an improved Crossroads Park at the corner of Terrace and Darragh streets. New seating, lighting, grills, stairways and plantings have been added to the multi-level park. The property is owned by the University but the park will be maintained by UPMC.

The park will be dedicated in the spring to former UPMC vice president for facilities and construction Ronald J. Forsythe for his efforts to establish the park. Forsythe died in February 2008.

A dedication ceremony will be held in spring, with plaques installed to recognize Forsythe and the corporate donors who contributed to the renovation of the park, said John Wilds, assistant vice chancellor of community relations.
