The city of Pittsburgh is paying homage to the late rapper Mac Miller by renaming a public park in his home town in his honor. Following Miller’s passing in 2018, a vigil was held at Blue Slide Park which also led to a petition to rename the park to ‘Mac Miller Blue Slide Park.’ Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto responded to the petition and loved the idea but said the name won’t happen anytime soon.
The late artist had an admiration for the park and even named his 2011 debut album ‘Blue Slide Park’ and as a tribute to the rapper, the park renamed itself to ‘Mac Miller’s Blue Slide Park’ on the Google Maps App.
