The Color Park Is The Most Unique Park In Pittsburgh, And It Belongs On Your To Do List

Graffiti’s typically frowned upon and, in most cases, is considered vandalism. However, Pittsburgh’s home to one unique place where graffiti is welcomed. Visitors, in fact, are encouraged to bring their own paint to join in on the fun and the creativity. Pack your paint and let inspiration wash over you when you stop by The Color Park in Pittsburgh.

The Color Park earns props as one of the most unique hidden gems in the city - both for its unusual goal and its tucked away location.

You can't reach the park by car or by bus, so you've either got to walk or to hop on your bike.

Nestled along the Three Rivers Heritage Trail, the park sits between the Liberty Bridge and the 10th Street Bridge. (Wait until you see the views of the city skyline.)

You definitely can't miss the park, and you'll even find spaces where you can lock up your bike while you let your creativity flow.

While today The Color Park welcomes everyone to join in on the fun, it wasn't too long ago that it was also considered vandalism.

In fact, local artist Baron Batch, who had been reported for vandalism at that spot, speerheaded the creation of the park, which is designed to bring color and joy to an otherwise rundown area.

Today, the park draws both professional artists as well as everyday Pittsburghers who want to marvel at the work of art and to add their own touch.

All are welcome to join in on the fun. However, you must bring your own paint.
