Easter Egg Hunt, Saturday March 23
Join us for our annual spring Egg Hunt at Koenig Field, Saturday,
March 23 (Rain date will be Sunday, March 24) at 1pm.
Bring your own bag or basket to collect treats and prizes. All kids
are welcome to come and enjoy our FREE Easter Tradition!
Participating kids will be grouped into three age ranges, as follows:
Toddlers (1-2) – Tennis/Pickleball Court* Little Kids (3-6) – Field A**
Big Kids (7+) – Field B**
*The eggs for the Toddler hunt will be EMPTY due to age
appropriateness of candy/toys in filled eggs. Soft prizes will be
available for Toddler participants following the hunt.
**The Little Kids/Big Kids hunts will take place side by side on the
field, with a divider in the middle. This is to allow for a more fair
opportunity for all ages to collect eggs.
All participants should arrive by 1pm. Toddlers will be given a head
start, starting at 1pm. Everyone else will start a few minutes later. We
ask that parents/guardians please ensure proper supervision, especially
of younger children.

Railroad Retaining Wall Rehabilitation
Pennwood Avenue Norfolk Southern has contracted Gregori Construction
to undertake substantial rehabilitation of the retaining wall supporting
the railroad tracks along Pennwood Avenue. The project encompasses the
entire length of the wall in Edgewood and a portion located in
Wilkinsburg. Work is weather dependent but should continue off and on
through the remainder of the year.
Pennwood Avenue will remain open during construction but motorists
may experience temporary delays due to the movement of equipment and
lane closures. Please obey all posted signs and flaggers while in the
construction zone.
Tennis/Pickleball Courts Closed for Season
The tennis/pickleball courts at Koenig Field are now closed for
recreational use for the season. This is done to avoid any possible
unsafe play conditions due to seasonal weather impacts on surfaces as
well as to minimize damage to the courts. No more reservations will be
accepted at this time. Courts will reopen in the spring.

Important Change to Recycling
As of January 1, 2021, Republic Services is no longer accepting any
glass with curbside Recycling Collection. Glass has the tendency to
break during collection and contaminates other recyclables with fine
shards of glass. Any contaminated items are forced to be rejected, and
sent to a landfill. To continue recycling glass items, Republic Services
has stationed a large blue dumpster in the parking lot behind the
Edgewood Borough Building, 2 Race Street, for items to be dropped off at
residents' convenience. This bin is located next to the paper collection
bins.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please only bring your CLEAN glass recyclables,
without lids, to place in the bin.
