Why Frick Park dries this way
Frick Park (Pittsburgh & Western PA, PA) rides on loam soil that drains well over terrain that drains at an even, moderate pace. Heavy tree cover holds the damp in, so it stays wet longer than the sky overhead would suggest. Loam reads that exact ground against live weather, rather than leaning on a regional forecast that can’t tell you what the dirt is doing. At 1,083 ft, Frick Park rides SE-facing ground that soaks up sun through the middle of the day, which speeds drying and opens the season earlier; the gentle grade, around 4.6° on average, drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm.
