Schenley Plaza
Located between the Carnegie and Hillman Libraries and directly across from the Cathedral of Learning, Schenley Plaza is Oakland's green oasis. The Plaza's features include:
- Four dining kiosks offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner
- Free public entertainment throughout the season
- The PNC Carousel, the Plaza's feature family attraction
- Movable chairs and café tables
- A tented area for shade
- Unlimited free wireless internet access
- Clean, wheelchair-accessible restrooms

Used as a parking lot for decades, the five-acre Schenley Plaza was restored to its intended use by the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy and its community partners in 2006. A second phase of the Plaza's revitalization, the restoration of the Mary Schenley Memorial Fountain, was completed in 2008. Future plans for the site include the restoration of the Magee Memorial Fountain in front of the Carnegie Library, and a full-service restaurant in the Plaza's northwest corner.
