Mellon Square

A quite pleasant urban park with fountains, plants and trees. It is tucked in the busy Pittsburgh Downtown area between busy Smithfield Street and the grand, historic William Penn Hotel. From here, any business, Commonwealth, Federal, Allegheny County, and City offices. This is a great place to stop and eat your breakfast, lunch or dinner. Check it out!

My favorite park in Pittsburgh. It went through a thorough renovation several years ago and only changed for the better. With the atmosphere and farmers market vendors, reminds me of Union Square Park in NY.

Beautiful park right in the middle of the hustle and bustle.
Stepping inside gives you a place to get away from the noise of the city as the sound of the fountain drowns out the streets surrounding it.
It's quite peaceful, even at night.

Stayed at the Omni William Penn while in town with Sesame Street Live "Let's Dance" North American Tour. Short walk from the hotel to the theatre. Beautiful Hotel decorated for Christmas. Several restraunts in hotel including A speak easy themed pub I went to several times.This is not the place to stay if you are looking for an affordable place to stay. My company paid for everything but I believe I saw A sign that read $400 a night was the usual rate. That being said it is a luxurious atmosphere as far as the lobbies, restaurants, gym, bars, coffee shop. They have several giant crystal chandeliers in the main lobby with excentuated crown molding lovely window treatments curtains glazed glass windows, marble tile floor with gold accents everywhere. They had several Christmas decorations including too many wreaths to count, several Christmas trees on every floor featuring a 24 to 30 ft tree in the main lobby with custom ornaments and ribbon throughout and a heavenly Angel on top gazing out upon the grande main lobby. I found it interesting that you can be on different levels and exit at street level on different streets I believe it takes up four city blocks. So all for one you might come out of one street and then on the second floor on the other side you'll come out street level on a totally different street and it does this I believe the first four fours. I was sort of disappointed in the rooms themselves however. They just seemed pretty average as far as the bed goes although the winnings were luxurious with a down comforter. I didn't enjoy the oversized bathtub and shower. It's definitely a place to stay if you can afford it overlooking mellon square. It truly is right in the middle of the city with quick access in any direction you want to go we even found ourselves at a gentleman's club not too far away if that's your thing. And there are too many bars and restaurants to count with him walking distance. There is a bit of a homeless issue in certain areas you will find them sleeping in doorways to businesses after hours. I didn't mind it because they didn't bother anybody and they were just trying to get out of the wind in the cold. Anyway like I said if you can afford it check out the Omni William Penn at Mellon square and visit the theater while you're in town

Was the best downtown area to hang out the eighties and nineties and it's wonderful to this day! Good place to relax and still be Able to be surrounded by the architecture that is special to Pittsburgh!

Very nice little park in the middle of downtown, was an unexpected respite from the cars.

Always a lovely place to visit for a short walk inside the park and enjoy the water fountain. They have small tables where people come to eat their lunch. During summer, they have a farmers market which is decent but is small. The place is neat and a best place for short walk.

Love too go and take photos of the water and walking the dog

Beautiful place to sit and eat lunch or just relax and read. Tons of sitting room and some tables during lunch. During the summer time there are food tents set up on Fridays if youre interested in some unique food.

Nice little square park downtown the size of one city block that's open during the warm months. Features trees and fountains, as well as plenty of smooth granite block seating.

A very beautiful and lovely part of downtown Pittsburgh.

I like this park because there is plenty of seating and you can see a lot of the city from it. It is closed in the winter. Steps away from the Starbucks in the William Penn Hotel. Not far from like 5 other Starbucks locations. Close to Burlington, the largest clothing store in the city. Also nearby Steel City Tees, one of the coolest clothing stores in the city.

This park is a beautiful green space in the middle of the city. A nice fountain, a scenic view overlooking Smithfield Street, and plenty of seating make it a great place to sit and relax. Just watch out for the pigeons!

Great park to relax eat lunch and enjoy the fountains.

Such a beautiful little park in the middle of the city. Love going there to see local musicians play.

Beautiful fountains. Nice place to sit and relax..

Nice Park to sit and relax. Quiet during the work hours and lots of shady spots. Water feature is beautiful. Very clean and nobody was smoking there which is nice

Like almost everything in Pittsburgh Mellon square is a small jewel in the center of the town. The fact that is on top of a parking garage makes it even more interesting. The best time to go here is spring summer when the fountains are on. Love it!

If you are in need of shade this place kan offer a but of shelter from the grueling hot sun on those less than usual sweltering days in Pittsburgh. Grab a book or maybe bring your lunch to katch a bit of down tyme from your daily hustle and bustle.

Good place to take a lunch break or take a load off for a quick sec.Theyjust .we'd a few more tables.
