Pittsburgh's Regional Parks

Our regional parks are the signature open spaces of Pittsburgh.

These parks draw tens of thousands of visitors from throughout our City and the region. The public can attend grand civic events, play, and learn. Each park has a unique identity shaped by its cultural resources, historic landscape, natural features, and recreational amenities.

The Department of Public Works and CitiParks maintain approximately 1,920 acres of regional park land distributed across five parks.

Pittsburgh's Community Parks

We maintain approximately 300 acres of community park land.

Community parks draw people from more than one neighborhood because of the features or character they offer, and they are intended to serve multiple neighborhoods.

Pittsburgh's Neighborhood Parks

Neighborhood parks are the basic building blocks within the Pittsburgh's parks system.

These locally-oriented parks provide residents with nearby access to the outdoors and recreation. Neighborhood parks typically include features such as picnic areas, playgrounds, open lawn, courts, and walking paths. Find your neighborhood park in the below table.

Pittsburgh's Riverfront Parks

River access is highly valued in Pittsburgh. We maintain approximately 51 acres of riverfront parks. Many partner organizations such as the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the Sports & Exhibition Authority also maintain signature public riverfront properties.

Our riverfronts also feature a significant public trail system along the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio riverfronts.
