South Park (Pittsburgh)

South Park (Pittsburgh)

South Park is a 1,999-acre county park in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is the second largest in the county's 12,000-acre network of nine distinct parks.

Completed in 1931, South Park is sited 15 miles south of downtown Pittsburgh in Bethel Park municipality and South Park Township. The park offers a wave pool, golf course, ice skating rink, picnic groves, tennis courts, and miles of trails.

Beginning in the 1930s South Park was used as the county fairgrounds and for more than thirty years attracted a half million people each season. By the late 1960s farming in the county had declined and the fair was discontinued.
