Pittsburgh, PA (October 26, 2021) - PITT OHIO, a leader in transportation and logistics services, completed renovations of Miller Park Playground in Parma, Ohio. The park sits on Aaron Drive, .5 miles from PITT OHIO’s Cleveland trucking terminal building.

PITT OHIO relocated its operation to Parma, Ohio in 2020 and constructed a state-of-the-art, LEED Gold Certified complex equipped with sustainable features benefiting its employees, customers and community.  PITT OHIO has maintained a presence in the Greater Cleveland area since 1979. 

“Strong neighborhoods make strong communities and sustainable futures,” said Jim Maug, PITT OHIO’s Director Building Maintenance and Property Management.  “It is a part of our culture here at PITT OHIO to give back to the communities where we do business. These are the neighborhoods where our employees live.

Much of the $75,000 investment to complete the project was a result of donations.  “We have built strong business relationships in the communities around us when we locally sourced many of our contractors, vendors and supplies when building our terminal,” said Maug.  “It is in these relationships that we found a willingness to give back, and through fundraising requests, collected donations from many of these contractors and vendors.”

Volunteers from PITT OHIO and its partners completed the renovations on October 6, 2021, including: a play area with swings, diggers and more, a picnic area with charcoal grills, picnic tables and benches, and improved landscaping including grove of trees, floral plantings and greenery.

 “The City of Parma and our recreation department take pride in developing partnerships on behalf of our residents,” Parks & Recreation Director Mickey Vittardi said. “We would like to thank PITT OHIO for their extreme generosity in the renovation of Miller Park.”

“Besides opening their state-of-the-art trucking terminal in our city, PITT OHIO is investing in our neighborhoods,” Mayor Tim DeGeeter said. “We appreciate PITT OHIO and all their donors for making this happen and working with our recreation department. I personally know the neighborhood is excited about the upgrades and completion of the park. I thank them for their partnership.”

“We would like to thank our partner McGill Smith Punshon for the design and renderings and our friends at RYCON Construction for their hands-on help to complete the project,” said Maug.
