  • This is a nice little narrow park along the river on the South Side, running from the Hot Metal Bridge to 18th St, through which one of the bike trails runs (hence why I frequent it). Don't get me wrong--I enjoy this park, but there are some aspects that preclude me from awarding it a 4. The main reason is that, as another reviewer mentioned, this park isn't the most conducive to pedestrians in the section between 17th St. and the Birmingham Bridge. In that section, there is at least as much road as there is path, and if you're on foot or bike, you have to cross it at at least one point. This section also isn't as scenic as it could be, due to the presence of the wharf (though I'm sure I'd appreciate that aspect of the park more if I had a boat). Finally, the cool little section with the gazebo that Chelsea S. took a picture of is prone to flooding if the water level's high, which makes it unusable and less than picturesque. Having said all of that, this park definitely has some redeeming factors. First, as I already mentioned, the bike trail runs through it, which is great, and is definitely more scenic than it is on the other side of the river. Second, the section down by South Side Works is quite nice, and offers a great view of the Mon. Third, the park has picnic tables in both the sections between 17th St. and the Birmingham Bridge and at South Side Works, which make for a great opportunity to enjoy a picnic in view of the river. Finally, the city seems to be working its way down this park from the Hot Metal Bridge installing improvements--the latest of which is a new marina next to South Side Works. It's clear that they have a master plan for this park, and the improvements definitely have improved the park, as is evident in the South Side Works section. Overall, this park provides some much needed green space in the South Side, and is a boon to its residents and cyclists enjoying the trails. However, there's no comparison between it and the larger parks in the city, such as Frick and Schenley, or even Highland Park. It'll be interesting to see how things shape up in the next couple of years, as the city continues to improve it. 3.5 stars.
