In a city that Frick helped to industrialize, it is one of the few areas of steep ravines and mature woods that remain relatively undisturbed, forming a nature reserve of native plants and abundant wildlife. Over the years, the park grew from the original land in Point Breeze and now includes Squirrel Hill to the border of Edgewood. Childs Frick went on to be a renowned American vertebrate paleontologist, major benefactor and trustee of the American Museum of Natural History. Henry Clay Frick's son, Childs Frick, developed his lifelong love of animals in the woods and ravines of the park. He did this against his will, but rather acquiesced to his daughter, Helen's debutante wish which he had promised to honor. He also arranged for a $2 million trust fund ($31.3 million today) for long-term maintenance for the park, which opened on June 25, 1927. The park began when Henry Clay Frick, upon his death in 1919, bequeathed 151 acres (0.236В sqВ mi) south of Clayton, his Point Breeze mansion (which is now part of the Frick Art & Historical Center).
