Mellon Square, Urban park in Downtown Pittsburgh, United States
The park features a geometric pattern of black, white, and green pavement, cascading fountains, and planted areas across its entire surface area.
The Mellon family foundations funded the construction of this park in 1953, investing 4 million dollars to create a modern public space.
The square functions as a central gathering location for downtown workers, residents, and visitors who come together for outdoor events and activities.
Located above a parking garage, the park offers direct access to surrounding buildings, including the Oliver Building and William Penn Hotel.
This location stands as the first modernist garden plaza constructed above a parking structure in the United States, establishing a new architectural concept.
