Point State Park, State park and National Historic Landmark at the confluence of three rivers in Pittsburgh, United States.
Point State Park spans 36 acres where the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers merge to form the Ohio River in downtown Pittsburgh.
The site contained four different forts between 1754 and 1792, including Fort Duquesne built by French forces and Fort Pitt constructed by British troops.
The Fort Pitt Museum within the Monongahela Bastion displays exhibits about the colonial period and the formation of Pittsburgh as a strategic settlement.
Visitors can access the park through multiple transportation routes, including I-376 and I-279, with parking facilities available in downtown Pittsburgh.
The central fountain marks the exact point where three rivers meet, spraying water 150 feet into the air from the westernmost tip of Pittsburgh.
