Renovating Point State Park: A Gift for Pittsburgh’s 250th

“There is not a more delightful spot under heaven to spend any of the summer months than at this place… Here we have the town and country together. How pleasant it is in a summer evening to walk out upon these grounds, the smooth green surface of the earth, and the woodland shade softening the late fervid beams of the sun; how pleasant by a chrystal fountain… with the rivers and the plains beneath.” - Hugh Henry Brackenridge describing the Point in 1786
