Pack a picnic or bring a frisbee and enjoy Spalding Circle!
Spalding Circle, a prominent triangular parklet situated at the entrance of Woodhaven and Longuevue Drives in Mt. Lebanon, serves as both a visual landmark and a versatile community space. While many residents and visitors appreciate its aesthetic appeal—whether driving past or enjoying a leisurely walk through it—the park also supports a range of informal recreational activities. These include pee wee soccer, pickup baseball games, dog walking, casual golf practice, winter play, and quiet reading.
In addition to its recreational uses, Spalding Circle is home to a diverse array of tree species, including Black Gum, Bald Cypress, Homestead Elm, Sourwood, Horse Chestnut, Cornelian Cherry, Kentucky Coffeetree, and Bur Oak, contributing to the park’s ecological richness and visual character.
Parklets such as Spalding Circle, which provide distinctive gateways to residential subdivisions, are integral components of Mt. Lebanon’s historic layout as one of the nation’s early automobile suburbs. These green spaces are recognized for their historical and design significance and were included in the nomination to the National Register of Historic Places prepared by the Mt. Lebanon Historic Preservation Board.
