market square park

The Monongahela Wharf Landing, opened in November 2009, has transformed a historically flood-prone parking lot into a vibrant linear park and trail along the southern edge of Downtown Pittsburgh. This revitalized space features a trail leading to Point State Park, along with benches and native, flood-resistant plantings that enhance the riverfront experience. Developed under the guidance of Riverlife, the project cost $3 million and was supported by various funding sources, including the U.S. Department of Transportation and local foundations. The redesign incorporates improved infrastructure and water access points, making it a welcoming area for both residents and visitors while addressing flooding concerns. Generated from the website
