August Wilson Park

August Wilson Park After witnessing years of the park’s decline and deterioration, residents rallied to preserve and reimagine this important community asset.

Perched on the northern edge of Pittsburgh's Hill District, August Wilson Park provides a unique view of the city

Before 2009, the status of August Wilson Park (formerly Cliffside Park) could have been described as lost but not forgotten. The Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy is excited to present with Hill District community organizations and the City of Pittsburgh a completely renovated August Wilso

n Park! Opened to the public on August 6th, 2016, the new August Wilson Park features a number of improvements and an expanded view of the rivers. The park plan, designed by Environmental Planning and Design, relied heavily on community input. The rolling, fully accessible landscape features public art inspired by neighborhood children; an installation of vintage photographs from Pittsburgh native Charles "Teenie" Harris and the Oliver M. Kaufmann Photograph Collection; and quotations from beloved Pittsburgh playwright August Wilson. The most beautiful view of the city’s landscape is free and open to all.
