Point of View Park has a bronze sculpture of George Washington with Seneca leader Guyasuta, while Emerald View Park is laced with trails.
The Name
Young George Washington once stood along what is now Grandview Avenue and mapped the land and rivers below for the British who lay claim to the forks of the Ohio River.
One More Thing
Just a few blocks from Grandview is Chatham Village, a unique residential garden community that's been named a National Historic Landmark thanks to its landscaping, architecture and 1930's experimentation with alternative housing.

PNC Park is an intimate, classic-style ballpark that embraces the progressiveness of Pittsburgh while saluting the spirit of early ballpark originals. Its scenic vistas of downtown and the riverfront create an exciting and dramatic urban sports venue.
A man shared his thought about it saying “I have been to a good handful of games and two tours of PNC Park, and it has been an outstanding experience every time. As far as games go, there is not a bad seat in the stadium. I have sat in most areas of the stadium, from the outfield bleachers (keep an eye on the weather in the summer, as it gets very hot under the sun all day), a few rows up behind home plate, the upper deck, and the more-exclusive club seating (the price may be scary, but the view and food is a significant improvement), and there is not a bad seat in the place. The tour is interesting; it covered a lot of history, along with trips to the press box and dugout. Both tours were taken during the season, so there was no access to either locker room. Overall, if you like baseball even a little bit, get to PNC Park.”
