So many parks, need a walk?

There’s no shortage of beautiful parks in Pittsburgh. There’s Mellon Square, Schenley Park, Frick Park, Riverview Park, Highland Park, Mellon Park, Emerald View Park and August Wilson Park. All are within walking or short-driving distance from downtown and maintained by the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy.

Whether you’re looking for a place to hike, walk your dog, bike, swim, horseback ride, ice skate, relax in a garden or just breathe fresh air – Pittsburgh has a park for you.

Visiting parks is beneficial for everyone, including stressed professionals, tired college students and anyone who needs an escape from the hectic city life.
