The park is designed with both a riverwall and riverwalk, which create a trail along the water’s edge.
In front of each stadium is a large cobblestone quay that handles canoes and kayaks, as well as larger vessels that usually transport sports fans.
A second park level includes large open spaces of grass and native landscaping, crossed by paths running in a southwest direction, mimicking the river.
Other features include Kayak Pittsburgh, the Water Steps (an interactive fountain), and the Market Street Pier.
The park is a project of the Pittsburgh Sports & Exhibition Authority with help from the Riverlife Task Force.
