What is Shore Thing?
Shore Thing is Riverlife’s newest riverfront destination: a floating platform in the heart of Pittsburgh’s Sister Bridges that invites you to relax, recharge, and rediscover the city from the river itself.
Rooted in Riverlife’s mission to create, activate, and celebrate Pittsburgh’s riverfronts, Shore Thing puts people at the center of the experience. When our riverfronts reflect the creativity and diversity of the people who use them, they become more than places: They truly belong to everyone.
