About Riverlife
Riverlife is a nonprofit organization formed in 1999 by people like you who saw the opportunity to create a community plan for the redevelopment of Pittsburgh’s downtown riverfronts. We conducted hundreds of public meetings and gathered feedback from thousands of residents and visitors, asking:
“What would you like to see along Pittsburgh’s riverbanks?”
Riverlife released a vision plan for a downtown riverfront park system called Three Rivers Park. Piece by piece, working with land owners, developers, neighborhood groups and elected officials, the Three Rivers Park vision is being realized. Through Riverlife’s leadership, more than 80% of the 13-mile Three Rivers Park loop has been established and improved for public use.
Find out more about Three Rivers Park and how you can help bring new trail connections, public parks and amenities to Pittsburgh’s riverfronts.
Mission
To reclaim, restore and promote Pittsburgh’s riverfronts as the environmental, recreational, cultural and economic hub for the people of this region and our visitors.
