  • Allegheny's Riverfronts
    ALLEGHENY’S RIVERFRONTS A Progress Report on Municipal Riverfront Development in Allegheny County DECEMBER 2010 Allegheny County Allegheny’s Riverfronts Dear Friends: In Allegheny County, we are known for our rivers. In fact, our rivers have repeatedly been in the national spotlight – during the Forrest L. Wood Cup and Pittsburgh G-20 Summit in 2009, and during World Environment Day in 2010. We are fortunate to have more than 185 miles of riverfront property along the Allegheny, Monongahela, Ohio and Youghiogheny Rivers. Our riverfronts provide opportunities for recreation, conservation and economic development. Providing access to our waterways has always been a key priority and we have been very successful in connecting communities through our trail and greenway system. Through partnerships with businesses, foundations and trail groups, we are on target to complete the Great Allegheny Passage along the Monongahela River before the end of 2011. This trail has been improving the economy and quality of life in towns throughout the Laurel Highlands and Southwestern Pennsylvania, and now its benefits will spread north through the Mon Valley and into the City of Pittsburgh. Our riverfronts provide opportunities for greening our region through the use of new trees, rain gardens and riverside vegetation that aid in flood control, improved water quality and a more natural experience. Allegheny County riverfronts have also always been great places to live. More people will be able to experience riverfront living with the development of communities such as Edgewater at Oakmont, which promises to be one of the best new neighborhoods in the region. I am so proud of all that we have accomplished along our riverfronts and excited about all that is yet to come.

  • 1.0 Introduction
    ALLEGHENY COUNTY PARKS COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN 1.0 Introduction 1.1 THE ALLEGHENY COUNTY PARKS SYSTEM The Allegheny County parks system consists of approximately 12,000 acres in nine parks that encircle the City of Pittsburgh at about a 15-mile radius (Figure 1). Listed in order of size, these parks are: • North Park (3,010 acres) • South Park (1,999 acres) • Settler’s Cabin Park (1,589 acres) • Deer Lakes Park (1,180 acres) • Round Hill Park (1,101 acres) • Boyce Park (1,096 acres) • White Oak Park (810 acres) • Hartwood (629 acres) • Harrison Hills Park (500 acres) The county parks are rich in recreational, natural, and historic resources. The two largest parks in the system, North and South Parks, were established in the 1920s and 1930s. The remaining seven parks – referred to as the “regional parks” – were acquired and developed in the 1950s and 1960s. The parks allow Allegheny County residents to enjoy a variety of recreational activities in diverse outdoor settings, contributing greatly to the quality of life in the County. All of the county parks offer basic recreation opportunities that include passively delivered activities such as picnicking, walking, and bird watching. The most intensively developed parks are North and South, with the remainder offering varying degrees of developed recreation opportunities. Each park has evolved around a theme or distinctive characteristic. North Park is known for the 72-acre lake, the largest man made body of water in Allegheny County, and its golf course. South Park is home to a game preserve, the County Fairgrounds, and 27 holes of golf.
