Riverview Park — Attraction in Pittsburgh

During my most recent visit, I only stopped at the Allegheny Observatory to look for the comet. That area is quite nice, and away from so of the light pollution you get from other areas in the city. As for the park, the walking and running trails are good. They're on the main roads through the park, but there is plenty of room for you and vehicles. When I last visited the park, some of the newly paved streets were already cracking and splitting. I think more maintenence needs to go into possibly stabilizing ground shifting to keep the roads and trails safe for everyone. Despite that, there is a lot of green space there (duh, it's a park), which is good. Wildlife can be seen rummaging through the grass and bushes, and flittering among the branches of the trees.

Trails are more off the beaten path then any of the other Major City Parks. A little more Gritty Then Frick & Schenley Park.

We arrived at park at about 11:00 AM and were told that part of the park would be closed for filming of the Netflex series Mindhunters. We had to find parking on the street outside the park it was a nice street with older homes. We were disappointed that we could not go to the Allegheny Observatory. We were able to hike the trails in the wooded part of the park. The trails were easy to moderate the day was cool and it was cooler in the woods. We enjoyed the hike, their were not many people on the trails. The other visitors in the park and the staff we came in contact with seamed friendly. The only negative the trails could be marked more clearly, but it would be hard to get lost in the park. It was a nice experience in a park in the City...
