Visitors walk along paved promenades on the riverfront and to overlooks for dramatic views of Pittsburgh, its busy waterways, scenic hillsides and many bridges. Natural landscaping and a 150-foot tall fountain enhance the beauty of this unique park at the "Forks of the Ohio." A stepped wall or stone bleacher along the Allegheny River section of the park provides seating for outdoor concerts and other events. A bike and in-line skate route through Point State Park connects the North Shore Trail, the South Side Trail, and the Eliza Furnace Trail via bicycle routes through the city of Pittsburgh.

The Fort Pitt Museum, housed in the Monongahela Bastion, and one of the five original bastions of old Fort Pitt, is devoted to the frontier perio d of local history.
