Opening in 2011, the $9.5 million Convention Center Riverfront Plaza is located along the Allegheny River at the base of the Convention Center’s Water Feature on 10th Street. The Plaza is a portion of the Three Rivers Heritage Trail which connects Point State Park to The Strip District.

Entertainment and Dining

The Cultural Trust oversees the area to the west of the building that is home to over 14 cultural facilities, public parks and plazas. Directly to our east, you’ll find The Strip District – an eclectic blend of open air markets, coffee houses and nightclubs.
