Highland Park attracts joggers and walkers every morning. The park offers 403 acres with a reservoir that is the perfect place to run laps. There are many woodland trails, a swimming pool, tennis courts, softball field, 10 playgrounds and six shelters for picnics and special gatherings. Carnegie Lake offers a quiet place to relax and try some fishing. The park sits next to the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium.
Riverview Park sits on a hillside on the North Side of Pittsburgh. The park features a public pool, tennis courts, play areas and ball fields. The Allegheny Observatory, home to the University of Pittsburgh's 13-inch telescope, is also located here. The observatory is open to the public one day each October.
