The city of Pittsburgh payed homage to Mac Miller by re-naming one of their local parks after him. The late rapper named his debut studio album after Blue Slide Park, and now the city is showing their respect for Miller, his family, and his fans by giving the park his namesake.

Back in September, Miller tragically passed away from an accidental drug overdoes inside his California home. He was just 26 years old and had just released his Grammy nominated record “Swimming.” Miller was slated to go on tour within the next few weeks before his passing.
Mac’s fans gathered at Blue Slide Park a few days after his passing to honor his legacy and listen to his music together. The site will now forever bare the name of the Pittsburgh native and be a landmark site for Mac Miller fans everywhere. Mac may be gone from the world, but his music will live on forever.
