QUINTESSENTIAL 'I'M IN PITTSBURGH' PHOTO SPOT
Click! Selfie. Oops I didn't capture the fountain, buildings, stadium and bridge too well. Do over.
With the convergence of the three rivers and great views of the skyline and other sites, this is a great breather away from all the concrete. But you'll also find many locals hanging out here enjoying the fields (when the weather is nice) or the college-aged groups hanging out at the overlook near the Fountain. Fun, clean, area with little areas to explore.
YOU HAVE TO MOSTLY MAKE YOUR OWN FUN
There's no places to rent bikes or kayaks on the grounds yet you'll find plenty of people using them around here. The many visitors I saw brought picnics, sports balls. Regarding bikes, although you're just following the wide sidewalks, there is variance in the terrain slopes which can make it a fun ride.
CHECK THESE OUT
Near the park's entrance is a history museum as well as the 'oldest building in Pittsburgh' (Part of old Fort Pitt). There's your history right there!
