    Point State Park is a 36-acre state park, a National Historic Landmark and the only large public park in downtown Pittsburgh. It is located at the confluence of Pittsburgh's three rivers and is ideally located to serve as the centerpiece of Three Rivers Park, a 13-mile loop of trails and park spaces under development along Pittsburgh's three rivers. Point State Park is being restored to its original splendor as part of Pittsburgh's 250th anniversary celebration. The restored promenade along the rivers will feature steps into the rivers, water taxi landings and dock tie-ups for boats and kayaks. Also, look for new connections between the park and the Great Allegheny Passage and Three Rivers Heritage Trail, the bicycle and walking trails that run along the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers.
