West End Overlook, Scenic viewpoint in Elliott neighborhood, Pittsburgh, United States
The West End Overlook presents direct views of the Pittsburgh skyline, the convergence of three rivers, and the West End Bridge from elevated stone terraces.
The municipal park underwent substantial renovations in 2003, incorporating new landscaped gardens, shaded walkways, and structured seating areas for enhanced visitor comfort.
The observation point gained additional recognition after being featured in the film The Perks of Being a Wallflower, drawing attention to its panoramic city views.
Visitors can access this outdoor viewing area at any time of day through Marlow Street, though the location does not provide public restroom facilities.
Morning photographers gather at this elevated position to capture the first light touching downtown Pittsburgh as the sun rises over the meeting point of three rivers.
