About the BCA

Founded in 1944, the Blackridge Civic Association seeks to provide community identity for the unique neighborhood of Blackridge, which consists of more than 600 houses in what now includes parts of Wilkinsburg, Churchill and Penn Hills, as well as approximately ten acres of wooded land, a ball field, and a playground. The Civic Association built its Clubhouse through community support in 1953 and a pool was added in 1972 as an independent subsidiary.

One of the few community associations with a building and grounds, the BCA board coordinates numerous events for community residents throughout the year.  They also regularly publish a community newsletter known as “The Blackboard”.  Their fundraisers and membership dues help keep the park, clubhouse and newsletter going and also allow them to host 3 free events for members every year: Strawberry Festival, Concert in the Park, and Fall Festival.  Watch the website for event updates or your local telephone pole for posters announcing these and other exciting events.
