    We do not recommend using the park as a cut through for your bike route, but it is a beautiful Acadia style place to take a leisurely bike ride.

    Beautiful park. Gorgeous views over Pittsburgh, in particular at night. Real nice olympic size track and plenty of hard surface tennis courts. Deer is everywhere!

    A beautiful park with lots of trails and relatively "wild" space. For a nice view of Oakland, visit Flagstaff Hill and maybe catch a movie.

    Great to walk and run here! Beautiful park that is so quiet you wouldn't know you are in the middle of a city!

    Great place for a run in the morning. Follow the major roads but dive into the woods and enjoy the many side trails.

    Best picnic spot in Pittsburgh. Grab a bottle of wine and watch the sun set.

    The best. Walk the panther hollow trail in fall and fall in love with Pittsburgh a little bit more

    Watch for fledgewatchers looking for the peregrine chicks first flights from the 40th floor of Cathedral of Learning during last week of May and first week of June.

    Has a decent disc golf course considering it's in the city and space is limited.

    Nothing wrong with making a lazy day of napping under the shadow of the cathedral.
