Three Rivers Park is a grand urban waterfront park along the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio Rivers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The park, under development since 2000, is intended to be a landmark that will redefine the city. It joins Frick Park, Schenley Park, Highland Park, Riverview Park, and Grand View Scenic Byway Park as the sixth in the city's network of regional parks.
The Riverlife Task Force is overseeing implementation of the park one parcel at a time, with more than $2.5 billion invested since 1999. The new park is being designed to open the three rivers to public access in a way that was unimaginable during Pittsburgh's famous Industrial Age. After completion in the year 2020, it will offer continuous trails and green space along a more than 13-mile waterfront loop between the West End Bridge on the Ohio River, the 31st Street Bridge on the Allegheny River, and the Hot Metal Bridge on the Monongahela River.
Currently RTF is managing three capital projects: renovation of Point State Park, the conversion of the Mon Wharf Landing, and the development of the new West End Pedestrian Bridge. The Point Park project is scheduled to finish for the city's 250th anniversary in 2008.
The logo of Three Rivers Park is the outline shape of Fort Pitt, the 18th century outpost of the British Empire at the confluence of the Monongahela, Allegheny, and Ohio Rivers. The design aims to capture the historical significance of Pittsburgh, with added graphic elements of water and leaf shapes to acknowledge the region's natural history. The logo will appear on signage throughout Three Rivers Park.
