Allegheny County residents enjoy the atmosphere of their community. They have all the amenities of the ‘big city’ without the hustle and bustle or the problems. Today, the warmth and ambiance of small town living is one of the qualities sought by many as people look for safer, more affordable places to live. Allegheny County is one of the areas that is considered to be desirable for a variety of reasons.
One of the things that gives Allegheny County the charm that is desired by many is the North Park Latodami Nature Center. The establishment of North Park in 1927 provided a number of benefits from work during the Great Depression to a game reserve for buffalo. Today, there are many programs available to acquaint those who live in Allegheny County with the natural environment and the preservation of the history of the area.
