The Drive-In was opened August 27, 1940 with Adolphe Menjou in “The Housekeeper’s Daughter”. It was located on Route 88/Library Road in Bethel Park, just before the entrance to South Park. It was renamed South Park Drive-In in 1947 when it was operated by Norbert and Ernest Stern Associated Drive-In’s. They were still the operators in 1955.
Since the movie screen faced the road, a curtain was built on the road shoulder to prevent passing pedestrians and cars from free view of the movies. This was later replaced with a green sheet metal fence.
The South Park Drive-In remained open all year round for most of its years. It was closed on 28th August 1985. On September 1, 1985, Pittsburgh’s very first drive-in came to a very wild end. It was estimated that approximately 2,000 people showed up by car and foot. The crowd didn’t even wait for the start of the last feature before they started tearing out the speakers and parts of the screen for memorabilia.
By the next morning, the drive-in looked like it had gone through two twisters. Today, the site where the South Park Drive-In once stood was occupied by a Taco Bell restaurant (now an Arby’s) and office building complex, South Park Commons.
There are no traces or indications that a drive-in even existed there, only the memories remain.

Nice job with listing the movies that played at the South Park, RSM3853. Although I do remember riding past it a several times when I was a kid, I sadly never had the pleasure of actually visiting the drive-in. If only we could REALLY do the Marty McFly trip…
Grand opening of the South Park (as shown in the Photos section, submitted by DriveIn54) was August 27, 1940 with “The Housekeeper’s Daughter”. Very appropriate opening feature as the movie’s star, Adolphe Menjou, was a native Pittsburgher.
For the first several years, it was simply known as “Drive-In Theater” with no specific name. It was named South Park in 1947.
Also, to whoever is in charge of editing the overview: There was a change in restaurants in that area several years ago. Please change Taco Bell to Arby’s. Thank you,
My mother worked for Berlo Vending Company in the early ‘50’s. She managed the concession stand at South Park some time during that period. I spent any nights at the drive-in as I went to work with her (as a pre-schooler) and my father would pick me up later. The most exciting thing I remember about South Park was a fireworks display gone wrong.Often, the drive-ins would have fireworks as a special attraction. On this occasion, one of the first firework shells came down live on the other canisters and the entire collection went off at once. It was some grand finale!
Closed on 28/8/1985 with “Up in smoke”, “The nine lives of Fritz the cat”, “Gimme shelter”, and “The 3 stooges”.
