Walls Are Bad is a campaign aimed at increasing awareness of, and participation in the many outdoor recreation amenities we have here in southwestern Pennsylvania.
Why promote an active, outdoor lifestyle?
Because it's good for the health of our children and families; it helps to support our local economy; it gives our region a competitive advantage in terms of attracting and retaining talent; and it gives us all a better appreciation of the planet.

There are many things to do outside around here-whether it's an easy stroll through the park, a whitewater rafting trip, or a bike ride along one of the trails. If you have started being more active outside, let us know. Tell us what you like about being outside.
