The city’s 311 response to my concern about having hunters at park when people are there, see the line “Archers will be permitted to hunt dawn to dusk. ”. Scary, I am angry and sad and will avoid Frick park. Your request 783310 (Deer Management Pilot Program) with City of Pittsburgh, PA has been closed: We understand that our parks are popular attractions to many and the deer management pilot program is concerning to many. We have enlisted the help of the USDA and modeled this off of similar cities to ensure everyone's safety. Archery will be permitted in Frick and Riverview Parks from 9/30-12/9 and 12/26-1/27 excluding ALL Sundays. Archers will be permitted to hunt dawn to dusk. All major amenities such as dog parks, playgrounds, and occupied structures (such as residents homes and Frick Environmental Center) will have a 50 yard safety zone enacted around it.

Starting September 30, the city is allowing bow hunters to kill deer in Frick park Mondays through Saturdays. I am attempting to get more information about whether this will be during set hours. I am concerned about the danger of people at the park at risk of being shot, or their children or pets, and the emotional shock for some to see dead deer in the park. I saw this is in WESA news and left a 311 message requesting more information. I said if they must do to manage deer population size, then do during set hours, like 5 to 8am.
