Dogs are allowed but of course must be leashed and cleaned up afterwards.

The park does not have swings or slides. However it does have an educational and historical spot where Fort Pitt once was and is now a museum. The park is vast so if you bring a soccer ball, frisbee, baseball gloves and a ball, there is room to play any kind of yard activities you would enjoy and would need space. Also keep in mind that just a short walk across the bridge, there is Carnegie Museum which has a very large children’s activity center. Also within the city (short walk from the park and during the summer), PPG Plaza has fountain area that children can enjoy and run thru to cool off. During major events in Point State Park there are always activities set up for children/kids to enjoy.

U can bring a cooler but u r not permitted to have alcohol in the park

Probably not due to the weather

A lot of space to picnic. Enjoy!

Point State Park is within walking distance of all of the North Shore and downtown hotels. The Fort Duquesne Bridge walkway from the North Shore ends within the park, or if you take any of the "three sisters bridges" into the city (Roberto Clemente, Andy Warhol, and Rachel Carson) the park is approximately 2, 4, or 5 blocks to the west.

this park is great for everything...but...id go up to mt washington to see both the stars and the city

This is right across the street from the park. you can't get any closer!

If you visit the state park web site and go to Point State Park. It lists the events on the right. From June 11 to 16 is the Three Rivers Arts Festival. Enjoy that event!

We used the 'bestparking' site when we visited Pittsburgh last month. (Trip Advisor won't let me post the link) The site lists several garages and public lots along with rates and photos. The prices reflected were spot-on accurate for our time frame. There's also metered street parking along Commonwealth Place, Liberty Ave, and other nearby streets. We never parked on the street, thus unsure of prices, restrictions, etc.
