About this park

A fenced off-leash yard inside Riverview Park on Pittsburgh's North Side, the hilltop neighborhood park best known for the Allegheny Observatory above it. The run is a wooded rectangle with community chairs, bowls, and balls left for shared use, wrapped in a wood-post and wire fence that regulars note is on the low side.

The highlights

Sunrise visits on the hill are a regulars' favorite, and the community-stocked chairs, bowls, and loose balls give the run a low-key neighborhood feel.

Before you go

The fence is about five feet tall with a small gap at the bottom of the gate, so dedicated diggers and escape artists aren't the best fit. Weekday mornings are the quietest window.
