South Park

South Park is a county park in Allegheny County spanning over 2000 acres of recreational land with diverse facilities and amenities. The grounds feature sports fields, hiking and biking trails, a wave pool, and various other recreational options for visitors of all ages.

The grounds are connected to the Oliver Miller Homestead nearby, a historic site where the opening shots of the 1794 Whiskey Rebellion occurred. This link to early American history gives the area significance beyond its modern recreational purpose.

The Summer Concert Series brings the community together every Friday evening from June through August with free outdoor performances. These gatherings create a social space where visitors can enjoy live music under the open sky.

The park maintains year-round facilities including an ice rink, golf course, skate park, and numerous sports fields for different activities. Visitors should plan which activities interest them since the grounds are large and different areas serve different recreational purposes.

The grounds contain a network of trails through natural areas and multiple rental shelters available for groups and events. Visitors can also use a BMX track integrated within the expansive grounds that attracts dirt bike enthusiasts.
