Point State Park

I've been to this park more times than I can count and each time is just as special as the last. I was excited to take my gf here for the first time and show her its sheer beauty and she fell in love with it just like I had many years ago. The day I took her my Steelers happened to be playing a pre season game to which always makes being at the point that much better.I will always cherish this place :)

This park is one of my favorite parks ever. It's a gem and I have to bring everyone who visits here. You get such a beautiful view of pittsburgh and it's always so chill here next to the rivers. The fountain is on most of the year and is beautiful too. I love that you can walk along the triangle and end up next to the bridges. Definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for a nice day out or if you're visiting town and trying to see what pittsburgh is all about.

Despite being one of the most iconic spots in Pittsburgh, I feel like a lot of people don't think to visit. It can be nice to look down over the rivers from Mt. Washington, but Point State Park is a peaceful place to stop if you'll be in downtown Pittsburgh.History buffs will enjoy the Fort Pitt Museum, and anyone will enjoy the grassy lawn and sitting by the fountain to get a breeze off of the rivers on a summer day. Consider grabbing lunch to go from one of the local spots downtown and heading over to eat by the water. Just don't be surprised if a few ducks or bunnies are eyeing up your fries.

Beautiful scenery. Nestled on the heart of Pittsburgh where the three rivers join. Amazing views of the city and the ballparks. Clean ground. Well maintained. Beautiful fountain. Always people there weather walking on their lunch break, riding bikes, or sitting and doing art, it's a true nature treasure enjoyed by many walks of life. Fort Pitt Museum is also located in the park that's open daily. If you're in town it's definitely a sight to see. The North Shore is just across the Fort Duquesne bridge with many dining options . Highly recommended.

There's an inexpensive paid parking lot on Commonwealth Place about 0.2-miles south of the South Point Park. There's probably a small amount of street parking on the side streets, but we used the parking lot. There's also a dropoff area on Commonwealth right up next to the park, with some benches where we waited for those who parked. About another 0.2-miles into the park, you'll find a snack bar, Café at the Point, on this side of the underpass. Grab an inexpensive cool water or soda, and maybe a snack, and continue another half a mile to the fountain at the fork of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers. Most of this walk across the park is in the sun, but there's plenty of trees around the sides for shade, where many people picnic. There's also a shaded path along the Allegheny River. There's a number of benches along the waterfront, some with shade. After playing around the fountain, and flying a kite in the open space until we crashed it, we sat along the Allegheny, listening to a concert from the Acrisure Football Stadium across the river, and watching tour boats and all sorts of private crafts, many pausing for the free live music. It's quite pleasant. I suggest some planning for anyone with limited mobility, as it's a bit of a hike.

parking nearby for an event, we wandered into the park after figuring we might as well explore the area since we already paid to park all-dayit was a beautiful location to discover; as visitors to the Pittsburg area, the park offered some of our favorite views, walking along the varying portions of the river, hanging out near the water on a bench, taking in the quiet ambiance - lots of bikers, runners, and other picnic goersvery clean, well maintained, the fountain wasn't on at the time of our visit, but so much else to see-we enjoyed viewing bridges & city skylines from varying angles a wonderful location (if parking was a bit easier this would be my go-to spot)

Walked through the park with my girlfriend and down the path running along the water. Such a nice view of the water and scenery. It can lead you to one of the inclines to get those fantastic city pictures.

At a geographically distinct location at the confluence of rivers, this stretch of land offers views of the cityscape, gets you close to the water, and has a splendid pedestrian tunnel under the highway to keep everyone in their separate space. A fountain and a historic fort are among the highlights, but it's also just an easy place to wander around.

Stunning park, very peaceful, highly recommended. The best views of the large part of the downtown! Additionally, the Allegheny and the Monongahela meet to form into the Ohio River. Parking is easy, Walking on our own was a lot of fun!

After being in the area for close to 2 years, I finally had a moment to check it out with the rest of my family. We even checked out the museum. The museum was well laid out and very clean. The staff that greeted us at the door was helpful and nice. The surrounding park has spectacular views of Mt Washington and the stadiums. It was well kept and felt like a get away from the bustling city. We went in the late morning and it was not quite packed yet which was nice.
