memorial park gazebo

The Edgewood Foundation was proud to join with local veterans’ groups and individual residents to offer support to Mr. Eddie Lockman in constructing the gazebo in Memorial Park. Mr. Lockman built the gazebo for members of the community as his Eagle Scout project. Mr. Lockman hoped to provide a sheltered place for the community to sit, reflect and appreciate the park and memorial.

The Edgewood Foundation spearheaded the funding and building of the new Koenig Field Playground. This giant project included gathering community support, choosing designs for safe play structures, and providing much of the funding to build the state-of-the-art play space. The structure will be enjoyed for many generations to come.

Edgewood symphony orchestra

The Foundation is proud to continue its sponsorship of the Edgewood Symphony.  This dynamic symphony is composed of talented amateur musicians from the greater Pittsburgh area.  They continue to impress us with their performances at our Community Day event, the Wine and Chocolate Affair, and the Holiday Concert held at the First Presbyterian Church of Edgewood. As such a small community, we are grateful to have a Symphony to call our own and represent us in the local area.

Edgewood Parkway sign

The Edgewood Foundation funded the purchase and installation of the Edgewood Borough sign at the parkway interchange. The sign serves as a welcome to our beautiful community. Years after the installation of the sign, the Foundation built a retaining wall and planted gardens to update the area. Semi-annual beautification efforts are still supported by the Edgewood Foundation.
