    Riverfront Trail
    Jenna W.

    Great local park that is very well maintained! Came here to walk a few trails with my dog. Loved that there's a wide variety of trails, from paved roads to gravel rocks to narrow dirt paths. The Riverfront trail was great for an easy loop. The trail is wide enough to pass comfortably other walkers and dogs, shaded by large trees, and passes the off leash park area. Didn't see any trash or large debris on the walk either! There were even small benches along the way to sit and rest, along with a water fountain to hydrate on a hot day. My dog loved it, very relaxing and peaceful with great scenery. Definitely will be returning!

    Beautiful park to walk in the fall. Many paths to choose both flat and challenging. A lot of hills you can navigate. We went to the entrance behind the Frick Mansion and Museum. Next time we will try the other entrance near Regent Square.

    Great park with lots of nice trails and plenty of shade trees. Beautiful anytime of year but especially so in the fall when the leaves are changing. Usually lots of dog walkers and families when I come which is nice to see. Pretty nice open spaces for picnics, yard games and frisbee too if that is more your speed. Some trails are closed due the the bridge construction, but there is still plenty to do on the ones that's remain open.

    Frick Park is beautiful and I feel lucky to have such an incredible park in our backyard. I particularly love the Falls Ravine trail because it's a good three miles and there's a bit of elevation. I was blown away with how big Frick Park is and just how gorgeous it was. Four stars because it's next to impossible to find trail maps online or know where to park / where to go once you're there. It is fun to get lost, but that isn't the experience everyone wants. Also, dogs are allowed off-leash which is really unsafe. Thankfully the park isn't big enough to get truly lost, and I recommend to have your phone on you so you can look at Google maps to see where you are. I hope in a few years time Frick starts providing more clear maps and trail information to visitors.

    Frick Park is the largest park in Pittsburgh, covering 644 acres in total. Because it's so large and well-maintained, this is one of those green spaces that has a little bit of everything. Hiking trails? Check. Bike-friendly trails? Check. Places to play sports games like soccer? Check. The woods and waterways are also so well established and cared for that they support a wide range of wildlife. Deer are of course extremely common, but if you time your visit just right you can also spot bats at twilight. I've also seen snakes sunning themselves on rocks by the creeks, and have heard multiple species of owls at night. "Heard wildlife in the park at night," you say? Yup, my favorite time to explore Frick Park is actually at night, which is possible thanks to 3 Rivers Outdoor Co. I can't recommend checking out their programming enough - the full moon hikes in particular are a blast! The only bummer is that Frick Park is admittedly a bit out of my way since I'm a South Hills girl, so I don't visit as often as I'd like. But it's always a blast when I do. I definitely recommend making the time to check it out if you haven't yet!

    A majestic stretch of forest adjoining what appeared to be one of the higher-end areas of Pittsburgh, this park offers both highly manicured event space and hilly, wild forest. They had an environmental center and I couldn't discern that it had a ton to offer a passerby other than basic facilities, but it looked nice and it had a bunch of educational space, including separate tiny doors for the kids to enter and exit through. An observation deck doesn't come close to exceeding the height of the canopy but does provide an interesting view. It was no trouble finding free parking, and there's no reason not to come.

    Frick Park is a great escape from city-living. We went on one of those randomly warm February days in Pittsburgh & took our pup with us. We entered on the Squirrel Hill side (vs Regent Square & Point Breeze access points) and street parking was easy to find. I know the park is way more beautiful in the spring/summer but we had to take advantage of the nice day! The trail we took was visibly marked and I'm so glad because I really wasn't paying attention lol. This park is huge though! I think over 100 acres?! I am excited to keep going back & explore more!

    Wonderful park, great for walking, hiking, birding, and mountain biking. There are creeks, wildlife, and beautiful trees. The Park Rangers are really nice and quite helpful. There are several entrances, so pick one that's closest to you, and they all feature something different and connect by a great system of trails.

    A beautiful day for a stroll in the park!

    A beautiful spot for yourself or your family. Paths both paved and more natural. Kids play areas...blue slide park, the ball fields, off-leash area for your dog (please, but not before then, yes?). The nature office. In the winter, sledding. It's simply a wonderful spot, all seasons around. Go there, take your kids...it's iconic Pittsburgh.

    Lot's of trails so you can choose many lengths and difficulties. We strolled around for about 2 hours and saw a lot of wildlife. This seems to be a very popular spot for birding. They had a great looking visitors center that was closed when we were there, but I would like to check it out. They also had a few nature programs running while we were there, I bet those are great for families or for specific interests.

    Such a treasure in the middle of an urban area. So jealous we don't have something this large and accessible in Indianapolis. We came here to escape the city for a bit and go for a nice walk in the park, followed by a quick hang sesh on the lawn out front by the road. The trails are a touch confusing, but AllTrails was our friend and made our hike an easy trek. Nice hills, great tree coverage, and lots of care in the maintenance of the trails. Good for mountain bikers, walkers, runners, and kids.

    Beautiful and unique city park with all the history and unique relics and stories from rusted out old mob cars in trees, the slags, to the blue slide made famous my Mac Miller. Oh, and don't get me started on 'Cowboy Hill'!!!

    Frick Park is really clean and beautiful! I have gone to Frick Park for many years at the end with the blue slide. I also am a little bit familiar with the entrance from Regent Square. My boyfriend and I went for a hike for the first time at the entrance near the Frick art museum. I haven't been over that way for probably five years! So crazy! We parked on the street for free (near the dead end at Ben Hur street). We saw a group of older men playing lawn bowling. I had never seen this before! We started on the Hawthorne Trail and covered Homewood Trail and Tranquil Trail. One of those is closed because of the bridge collapse. We were nervous that we would get lost somewhere deep in the woods, but these 3 trails all connect and are easy. We checked out the map and plan to go back for longer next time. There are people jogging, walking, and riding bikes. I thought I saw a sign that said no pets, but there were definitely people walking their dogs. The woods were peaceful and quiet. I liked that there were benches along the way too. We are excited to be more adventurous next time.

    Nice place to walk around or have a picnic. Did a history walking tour and learned about the area.

    Great place to run or walk. The vegetation keeps the sun off of you. Totally recommend

    Sure, the blue slide is legendary, but it's the well-managed forest and extensive network of trails on its 100-plus acres that are the star here.
