Swissvale has a Post-Office, a paid fire department along with a volunteer department, in-house garbage collection, commercial and small businesses, a Rotary club, the Farmers Market that runs June to November, and at least 10 denominations of worship centers. Swissvale has convenient access to I-376, Braddock Avenue, and is the starting point of Port Authority’s East Busway.
Swissvale is home to the 103-year-old Carnegie Free Library of Swissvale that continues to grow and has plans to be even more accessible and shares space with the Swissvale Senior Center. And our town includes part of the Carrie Furnace property, Regent Square and Frick Park.
Community activities that engage our residents include the annual Egg Hunt, planting and maintaining the parkway conservancy garden and other areas around town, Community Days, National Night Out, the Halloween parade and the Night of Lights; all of these take a lot of volunteers and business support to make happen and we are always looking for more help. Other organizations also have great community-based events such as our community garden, the Swissvale Mile, the Run Around the Square, and the annual car cruise. The COVID pandemic cancelled some of these in 2020 but we’ve adapted and found ways to make these great events happen and see them all coming back in 2021.
We have playgrounds at Collingwood Park and 2 at Les Getz Memorial park, where, along with Allegheny County, we’re working to connect to the Great Allegheny Passage trail.
