Parks & Playgrounds on the South Side

  • South Side Riverfront Park, entrance at 18th Street near the Monongahela River. The park features a picnic area, public boat launch, canoe launch, and a riverfront trail. Used for biking, walking, and skating, the trail extends to 9th Street to the east (with plans for a connection to Station Square) and nearly reaches Homestead at a turnaround to the west. (No parking or access is available at this terminus).
