West End Park

West End Park, also known as West End-Elliott Overlook Park, is a public park located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Situated on a bluff overlooking the Ohio River, the park offers panoramic views of the Pittsburgh skyline and the confluence of the three rivers - the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio.

The park spans approximately 4 acres and features well-maintained walking paths that wind through landscaped gardens. Visitors can enjoy leisurely strolls while taking in the scenic vistas of the city and surrounding landscape. The park's elevated position makes it a popular spot for photography, especially during sunrise and sunset when the city is bathed in golden light.

West End Park includes a playground area for children, providing recreational opportunities for families. The park also has several benches and picnic tables, allowing visitors to relax and enjoy outdoor meals while appreciating the views. The overlook area features terraced stone seating facing the city, creating an amphitheater-like setting for viewing the urban panorama.

The park is known for its historical significance as well. It was once used as a lookout point by Native American tribes, including the Shawnee. Today, it serves as a peaceful urban retreat, offering residents and visitors a place to connect with nature and enjoy Pittsburgh's impressive cityscape.
