Woodlands Foundation

The mission of The Woodlands Foundation is to enrich the lives of individuals with disabilities and chronic illnesses across their lifespans.

The Woodlands provides year-round recreational, social, and wellness opportunities for those with disabilities.  Our barrier-free environment encourages everyone, of every ability and disability to explore what’s possible and discover new levels of independence.  Hands-on experiences guided by our caring staff help to reinforce social, cultural, environmental, recreational, and spiritual growth. 

Our 52-acre site in the North Hills of Pittsburgh is nestled on serene, private wooded property, our grounds feature: an indoor heated pool, 48-bed lodge, dining hall, creative arts center, activity center, camping area, sports court, nature trail, adapted zip line, adapted archery range, and a par-3 adapted golf course.
