Mellon Green

Mellon Green is an urban park in downtown Pittsburgh featuring paved walkways, grass areas, and a central water feature at its heart. The design incorporates various landscape elements and sits adjacent to surrounding buildings that frame the space.

The park was established in 1984 as part of Pittsburgh's efforts to integrate green spaces within the downtown financial district. This addition reflected the city's broader plans to enhance outdoor spaces for the growing urban center.

The space serves as a gathering place for downtown workers and visitors throughout the year. It functions as a social hub where people from different parts of the city connect and interact.

The park has abundant seating spread throughout the grounds, providing numerous spots to rest and spend time outdoors. The flat terrain is easy to navigate and entry points are accessible from multiple sides.

The water fountain at the center displays changing visual effects throughout the day, shifting as light angles vary. The morning sun creates particularly striking reflections on the flowing water that shift as the day progresses.
