Riverview Park, Municipal park in North Side, Pittsburgh, US
Riverview Park encompasses 259 acres of dense woodlands and steep hillsides, featuring an extensive network of hiking trails through natural landscapes.
The land belonged to Sam Watson's Farm until 1894, when Mayor William Kennedy and Allegheny City residents purchased it to create the first park.
The park holds summer concerts and outdoor movie screenings near the Chapel Shelter, which was transformed from a Presbyterian church into a picnic area.
Visitors can access various facilities including a swimming pool, playground, ball fields, and multiple picnic shelters throughout the recreational space.
The Allegheny Observatory stands at the highest point of Riverview Park, conducting astronomical research and offering scheduled tours of its facilities.
