A
Fairmount Park
The snaking Schuylkill River bisects this 9,200-acre greenspace − bigger than New York's Central Park and, in fact, the largest city park in the country. From the earliest days of spring every corner is thrumming with activity − ball games, runners, picnickers, you name it. The enthusiasm is catchy and you'll certainly want to join them. Runners will love the tree-lined, riverside trails, which range from 2 miles to 10 miles in length.

Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy
For pretty much any outdoor pursuit, the best option is the elaborate, 1700-acre system of the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy, which comprises Schenley Park (with a public swimming pool and golf course), Highland Park (with swimming pool, tennis courts and bicycling track), Riverview Park (sporting ball fields and horseback riding trails) and Frick Park (with hiking trails, clay courts and a bowling green), all with beautiful running, cycling and in-line skating trails.
