Jake Milofsky of Tree Pittsburgh said that despite the park having a lot of trees, this neighborhood doesn't have as many leaves as you would think.
"Lawrenceville as a neighborhood has lower overall tree canopy on average than a lot of other neighborhoods in Pittsburgh, so we have really focused our energies in Lawrenceville to try and improve that tree canopy," Milofsky said.
