Grandview Park

Great little spot that’s off the path from the normal tourist viewing spots. Could use some updating but very quiet and pleasant.

The view from the top, at the entrance, is beautiful. Although you'll definitely get better views from the outlooks on Grandview Ave. There are a couple of picnic tables here. That's pretty much where the nice things end. At the moment the Grandview trail is closed in one long section so you can't hike all of it and the other trails are maintained but entire sections are littered with glass (I'm lucky my dog has very rough paw pads) and there are parts with poison ivy at ankle height. They are not very fun to walk honestly and there are better choices in Pittsburgh for sure. Obviously the noises from the highways are loud but that's to be expected considering the location. There are no real views from the trails I've walked. During the week it is very calm and you'll encounter mostly people jogging or walking their dogs. Parking is on the street. There is a portable toilet near the band stand that was clean. I'm an avid hiker but I also love nice city parks and unfortunately this is not one of those.

Beautiful park with a beautiful view. I’ve been coming to this park for 30 years. It’s just as beautiful as it ever was. Check out the band stand. Sit on the hill and watch fireworks. Perfect small park.

CitiParks put on a very nice 4th of July celebration in the park. Food trucks Street Fries & BottelRockets. Music by varous artists & ending with Billy Price. Great fireworks! What a view!

This is such a lovely park and it’s perfect for walking, has trails for hiking, and tables for group activities. They often host movies in the park or other events here as well. The view is a must see especially if you want something a little bit greener than the overlooks in Mt Washington.
