What is Three Rivers Park?

Three Rivers Park is a series of interconnected places and destinations along the three rivers between the West End Bridge on the Ohio, the 31st Street Bridge on the Allegheny and the Hot Metal Bridge on the Monongahela. Linking more than ten miles of public and private riverfront property including bridges, shorelines and adjacent development, Three Rivers Park will be a continuous, accessible waterfront park system. Picture a continuous flow of trails, walkways, bridges, and green spaces that together will comprise a single, grand public space known as Three Rivers Park.

The “building” of Three Rivers Park will be completed one project at a time with the goal that, by 2020, the park will serve as the region’s single greatest asset and a landmark that will define the city for years to come. For more information on some of the major projects planned for and underway in Three Rivers Park, please see our Capital Projects page.

The central motif of the Three Rivers Park logo is the shape of Fort Pitt, the 18th century outpost at the confluence of the Monongahela, the Allegheny and the Ohio Rivers. While this shape captures the historical significance of this place, additional graphic elements of water and leaf shapes acknowledge the natural beauty of the rivers themselves, as well as the surrounding hillsides. The resulting form offers a spirited, strong symbol that will appear throughout Three Rivers Park.
