Ever wonder what went in to making the Riverfront Park on the North Shore such a beautiful and popular spot?
GrowingGreener writes:
This project involved the complete redesign and rehabilitation of a 67,00 foot segment of linear park and trail facilities along the north shore of the Allegheny and Ohio rivers. The project area was primarily designed in the late 1960s and early 1970s as Clemente Park.
Since the time of the original park design more than 25 years ago the use of the park and the area surrounding the park has changed significantly. Originally designed as a passive linear park complementing Point State Park, across the Allegheny, the park had accommodated a number of unforeseen uses. River taxis, and the Gateway Clipper excursions fleet regularly dock along the park to bring visitors to Three Rivers Stadium and the Science Center. The Steel Industry Heritage Corporation’s River of Steel Tours is planning to use the park as a landing.
