Point State Park is an incredible lush green space that has a lot of interesting historical landmarks or stunning visual eye candy to keep you occupied for quite some time. I was quite surprised on how large the park is and how much you can see from all different angles.
It's a fairly easy walk from the downtown core and the walking paths are pristine and wide. You can step back in time when you step into the Fort Pitt blockhouse and get a sense of what soldiers must have felt ages ago. Lots of beautiful Instagramable shots here ... especially with the Daughters of the American Revolution gate with the huge American flag in the back.
The park also has had the 3 rivers all at one spot and you get a feel for how big the rivers truly are. We were here after the rain and you can definitely see them reaching towards the top of the concrete river edge. You also have great views of the Duquesne Incline, the Science Museum, lots of bridges, Stadiums, and the skyline with PPG building just dominating the view.
I loved how you can also trace the outline of the old outer wall.. they laid stone down into the ground to show where it once stood. Just a warning ... the green space is like a big wet soaked sponge after a downpour. It may look dry .... buuut no. It's just a big puddle pretending to be grass.
Lastly, the Point State Park fountain is impressive. Beautiful and large, it's the perfect backdrop for a selfie or enjoy the cool mist on a hot summer day. We saw many people just sit on the ledge enjoying the sun ... including a few people forgot their sunblock and their shirt. I guess Pittsburgh citizens doesn't mind being a little ... ok a lot red.
Great city park and one of the more impressive ones ... definitely recommend to check it out to either admire the views or just sit and relax. Just remember the sunblock!
