My girl, Moogly who is pictured, loves this spot. I love that there are small wooded areas. The park is well maintained. I have seen someone emptying the trash bins on several occasions. You get a very communal vibe with how the dog park is set up. It's really a great spot for the dogs and humans to interact. Hands down one of the best dog parks we have lived near. My only suggestion is to have a dope mural painted on the storage container!

It's a really big park so be sure go drive around and check out all of the amenities! I like that there is a playground for older kids and one for younger ones.

Riverview Park has one of the largest and most extensive trail systems in the Pittsburgh area. With…read moreso many interconnected trails winding through different neighborhoods, it's easy to have a different experience every time you visit. I also like that you can step into a nearby neighborhood and grab something to eat before continuing your hike. Compared to Schenley or Frick Park, it also tends to be less crowded, making it a great option if you're looking for a quieter, more peaceful walk. That said, the trails are not as well maintained as many of Pittsburgh's other parks. Some sections are in great condition, while others have overgrown vegetation, uneven rocky terrain, steep drop-offs, and occasional hazards like broken glass. I noticed small pieces of glass along the Archery Trail, so I would recommend wearing hiking boots or sturdy athletic shoes rather than thin-soled sneakers. Because of the terrain, I think this park is much better suited for walking and hiking than for running. Most of the trails are not wheelchair accessible and may be difficult for young children, older adults, or anyone with mobility challenges. Even with the overgrowth, the scenery is beautiful, and many areas were filled with fragrant plants and wildflowers. I didn't personally see any poison ivy during my visit, but it's always a good idea to stay aware of your surroundings. One area that could definitely be improved is restroom access. There are very few restrooms throughout the park, and one restroom that had been open during a previous visit was locked in the middle of the day on a Sunday. Adding a few portable restrooms near the busiest trailheads would make a big difference for visitors. Parking is easier than I expected. While there aren't many dedicated parking lots, there is plenty of street parking throughout the surrounding neighborhoods. Depending on which trails you choose, you may also come across areas where unhoused individuals have set up encampments. During my visits, everyone kept to themselves and I didn't have any negative interactions, but it's something visitors should be aware of and another reason to stay aware of your surroundings in such a large urban park. The observatory has unfortunately been closed each time I've visited, but the park frequently hosts community events that are worth checking out. It's encouraging to see ongoing improvements, and I hope the city continues investing in this park because it has so much potential. Overall, Riverview Park is a beautiful place to explore and one of Pittsburgh's most expansive trail systems. While there are areas that could benefit from better maintenance, additional restrooms, and continued safety improvements, it's still well worth visiting. With a little more attention, I truly think it has the potential to become one of the best parks in Pittsburgh.

I had some extra time while in the Fox Chapel area and decided to check out Riding Meadow Park…read more It's a nicely maintained park that runs along part of Squaw Run. And while I did see a few runners on their own, this park seems to be mostly a dog park. I encountered many friendly owners and enthusiastic dogs while exploring the trails. Some of the trails appeared to be marked but the park itself is not that big and the trails all ended up circling around each other so I had no problem wandering around. It's a very peaceful spot with several benches throughout. The sound of traffic at times can be disruptive though. The park is fenced in from Squaw Run Road and there is a parking lot just across the street. There is a sign that says parking is by permit only but I did not have a permit and could not find any information regarding this. (Maybe it's supposed to be for residents only?) I did also see parking along the road leading to the park but watch for signs because you cannot park on the road just next to the park. I don't know that I would necessarily go out of my way to get back here just for myself. But I would recommend this spot for anyone with a dog looking for a good park to let your canine friend roam around.

Voila, Highland Park saved the day. The thing that attracted me most was the playground that featured plenty of shade as well as playscapes that worked for various ages including babies with a soft floor.

If I lived in the area, I could see myself frequenting this park. Overall a wonderful experience and we will definitely visit the next time we are in Pittsburgh!
