Point State Park parking
Point State Park is a 36-acre park situated where three of Pittsburgh’s rivers converge (Ohio, Allegheny, and Monongahela). This green urban space is one of downtown Pittsburg’s most popular venues for recreation and outdoor events. Aside from the venue’s official parking lot, visitors will find several surface lots, commercial garages, and on-street parking in the area. Read our guide to learn about the most convenient options, updated rates, parking restrictions, and transportation.
Park Hours and Admission
Public access to the park and Fort Pitt Blockhouse is free, but The Fort Pitt Museum, also located inside the park, charges admission to enter. The park is open from 7 AM to 11 PM every day.
Parking at Point State Park
The park’s official parking lot is situated along Commonwealth Place, right across from the Post Gazette Building. This lot is open from 6 AM to 11 PM and charges $10 for all-day parking. ADA parking spaces are available in this lot as well.
