It is a fountain in Point State Park. See how good I am at stating the obvious!? This place is where you come to relax after getting there and where you take in the view.... or the second-hand smoke from the guy next to you exhaling a billow of smoke. Either way, you come here to appreciate Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh is a scenic town. You really are offered the best seat in the house from this location where the fountain is settled. I did what any other tacky or narcissistic tourist would do - I took selfies and did a handstand to post on social media to make me look so cool. I didn't think that was as different as the chicks on the other side of the fountain doing yoga poses.
Bring your camera and dress up for the shot. You're likely to see someone in getting engaged, taking engagement photos, or wedding photos down here on a weekend or pretty day. You might as well jump in on the phone without the special occasion if you're going to take the time to come down here in the first place.
My friend and I came here right as the sun is setting. It was heavily policed, so I fathom this place is always on high alert. Common sense would still tell you nonetheless not to come down here alone, but do what you want at your own risk. Use your best judgment.
This the best view in the house, so take it all in and get that photo in the process!
