Fantastic park, plenty of walking and biking trails and space for dogs and kids to play. One of the best walking areas in Pittsburgh by far!

Cute little park/trail. Part of the playground is made of a giant person, and the kids loved it. Awesome park to check out if you’re looking for something new.

A fun and expansive park that can entertain all types- not only young and old, but also of the four legged variety. My son and daughter and our newly adopted Beagle visited here to meet some friends (and their also recently adopted dog) for a play date, and it was a very fun time in a pristine riverside setting. We started out at the dog park, which isn't huge, but definitely has a lot of room for the pups to run, as well as a gate system that keeps the dogs safe from escaping. After that, the kids went to the playground area, and really enjoyed the fast metal slides of the eclectic playground structure. It is a rather small play area, but the kids had a good time climbing and moving. And the area in whole is large and has some great views of the river as you walk along. Overall, it was a nice little afternoon respite, and a place I expect to come back to again when my dog and my kids need a chance to get moving.

Love this trail. They have a super cool sculpture playground for kids and swings. The slides are a little bit big for super small children. The trail is awesome, lots of places to stop and rest. They have lounge chairs and picnic tables and a cute butterfly garden. Awesome view of the river. Allows bikes and dogs. They have a restroom at the start of the trail. It was very clean

Absolutely lovely. On a bright Tuesday morning I had the place almost all to my self. Many spots to sit and enjoy the view, or walk around. I parked across the street at the municipal parking lot though it seems that the park has its own parking space. There is a very cool playground by the water and its dog friendly
