Arlington Playground is a 3.8-acre neighborhood park that was acquired by the City of Pittsburgh in 1912 and opened for use in 1921 following multiple improvements to the site. New amenities included a recreation center, baseball diamond, girls’ field, and playground. The park sits adjacent to South Side Park, near the top of what used to be the St. Clair Incline, which traversed the hillside from 1886 to 1935, connecting the lower station on Josephine Street near 22nd Street to the upper station on Salisbury Street in Arlington.
