Summer’s in full swing here in Pittsburgh, and we have no shortage of fun things to do – from trips to Kennywood and Sandcastle to meandering down the Three Rivers aboard the Gateway Clipper Fleet. For a relaxing time along the river, you might also want to plan a visit to the brand new popup park in Pittsburgh. It offers something for everyone.
The westbound lanes of Fort Pitt Boulevard have gone from whisking traffic through the city to hosting Allegheny Overlook, a summertime popup park.
