Did you know? The fountain in Point State Park, which sprays water up to 150 feet (46 m) in the air at the head of the Ohio River , draws upon water from an aquifer that passes beneath the park .

Donovan Dasher

A must-visit for any tourist , this park is beautiful. Unique history and setting, with beautiful views of the city skyline, bridges , and rivers . Great for strolling and picnicking too!

The amazing fountain serves as a scenic escape from the city and the trailhead for the Great Allegheny Passage, a 340 mile trail to DC!

Julie Stoops

Some of the nicest views in the city .

Jenya S

Gorgeous at nighttime! Note, fountain shuts down 10 minutes before 11pm and the park closes at 11. Plan accordingly.

Awesome! Such a cool spot when visiting! A must see.

An amazing city park , right where the three rivers come together, especially in the Fall with all the colors.

Stand on the original spot of Fort Duquesne- imagine how this confluence of land and water served as such an important spot of US History

I love coming here to hang out, read a book , or do water sports . Too bad it's getting cold. I guess I'll have to wait for the spring.

A great spot in summer and host to many festivals and concerts including the Arts Festival and Regatta.

See the fountain at the Point where the Monongahela & the Allegheny meet to form the Ohio. Kayak and bike rentals nearby, also see the Fort Pitt Museum .

A must see. Beautiful park , especially on a sunny day. Can be quite breezy though.

I love the city environment. It's so lively and fresh.
