Riverview Park Improvement Projects

For nearly 20 years, the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy has worked alongside the community and the City of Pittsburgh to enhance the beauty and accessibility of Riverview Park. From past restorations to exciting future projects, discover how we’re bringing new life to this cherished green space.

Valley Refuge Shelter

Completed in July 2025, the Valley Refuge Shelter project restored and upgraded this historic Riverview Park landmark to enhance accessibility, functionality, and the overall visitor experience.

Chapel Shelter

Completed in 2008, this beloved Riverview Park landmark was revitalized through building restoration, landscape improvements, and accessibility upgrades—transforming it into the most rented shelter in Pittsburgh’s park system.

Pittsburgh’s Parks: For Everyone, Forever

Parks bring us together. They are where families make memories, neighbors connect, and people of all backgrounds and abilities can find joy in nature. No matter who you are, parks are for you. And in return, they give us so much—fresh air to breathe, green spaces to explore, and a sense of home in the heart of our city.

At the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy, we believe parks are essential. We’re committed to caring for them today and for generations to come. 

Join us in keeping Pittsburgh’s parks thriving.
