Emerald View Park is 257 acres which spans the neighborhoods of Duquesne Heights, Mount Washington, and Allentown. The park overlooks the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was created in 2005 and is the newest regional park in Pittsburgh.

The park transformed the once heavily mined and community-dump-site and combines existing parks and greenspaces.

The Park offers a mix of playing field, playgrounds, lawns, views, and trails to over 1 million people who visit Mount Washington annually to see the iconic view of downtown Pittsburgh and the three rivers. The Park adds to Pittsburgh's livability and viability as a tourist draw. The trails will eventually allow for easier commute connections with downtown Pittsburgh from surrounding neighborhoods.

Emerald View Park is currently under development and has approximately 10 miles of trails when complete, The Master Trail Plan will have over 20 miles of trails.
