You can fish, walk, jog, hang, take your dog, rent pavilions or the newer enclosed building, get family photos done, utilize the expansion area with an amazing playground, skate park and dog park. There's really something for everyone and we're so lucky to have it in our area.

The biggest downside to Climb North is that the routes are usually harder than they are marked. On the upside, that means that if I can do a V2 at CN, I might be able to get a V4 or V5 at most other walls. Unfortunately it's a sharp starting curve if you're just beginning, but I understand they're working on that. Other than that, the wall is mostly centered around bouldering instead of top-roping, which is great if you're not looking to invest a lot into equipment and just want to get started! The staff is stellar. They won't get in your way, but they do let someone know if they're being unsafe. If you ask for tips or suggestions, they'll give only as much as is requested, and let you figure out a given problem on your own. The place is friendly to kids, adults, and students. They do sell some climbing gear which is reasonably priced, and seems to be a good way to support the gym. If I weren't leaving Pittsburgh, I'd be climbing at Climb North every week.

They really are doing such a great job of building this park up. It's been fun seeing the changes…read morefrom visit to visit. They have concerts in the park which have been great. They usually are once a month during the summer and are great events. They have changed from year to year where the setup was but this time the stage was further down and right on the water. We went to see Brownie Mary and Good Brother Earl. They both put on a great show and the energy from the crowd was so fun. There is plenty of room to throw down a blanket or set up your chairs to enjoy the show and you can be right up close or even set up up the hill and still hear the music and well. They have a wide open space where several food trucks were set up. They had wine and beer available for purchase as well. There are porta potties or you can walk a bit further and use the real bathrooms inside the building. Parking can be tough for popular events. This park is great whether you come for an event or just to enjoy the space. It's right on the water and there are nice areas to just walk around. There's the playground for the kids (or kids at heart). They put in some of the fun giant chairs where you can just relax and enjoy the view.

Visit Aspinwall Riverfront Park and you'll find a great spot to rent a kayak! This rental booth is…read moreoperated by Kayak Pittsburgh, a specific project that's part of the Venture Outdoors nonprofit group. Aspinwall is their 3rd Kayak Pittsburgh location in the area (with other locations on the North Shore and in North Park). With plenty of free parking available at this little park, you normally just have to show up and pay for your kayak. (Note that during 2020, an online reservation is required due to the popularity of their kayaks and because they need to control the number of people in the area at a time.) You'll be provided with a life vest and paddle after checking in. The staff will also answer your questions and provide tips on kayaking if you need them. They'll then help you get your boat into the water, where you can paddle at your own pace and enjoy the scenery. I do want to mention that because this is a river location, you'll want to keep the strength of the current and any wind in mind as you paddle along the Allegheny. You may find yourself working harder in one direction or another depending on what the current and wind does during your visit. So give yourself plenty of time to get back to the launch point, and be careful about overexerting yourself early on. Other tips from this regular kayaker are: bring PLENTY of water; don't forget your sunscreen and a hat; bring a waterproof bag for your valuables; and consider investing in some sports gloves so that your hands don't get too sore or blistered paddling. Do those things, and you're sure to have a blast during your time on the water!
