Dog’s Day Out: Pittsburgh

If you’re in Pittsburgh and looking for the perfect day out with your dog, Rover has you covered. We talked to our community of dog people in the Steel City to get their recommendations for the best dog-friendly activities their city has to offer. This complete route includes a fabulous dog walk, dog park, and dog-friendly restaurant. Your dog is ready for this! Read on for all the details you need.

For more dog adventures, check out our dog-friendly guides to cities across the country.

Total Distance: 1.1 miles / 23 minutes of walking

In Pittsburgh, you can start your adventure with dog-friendly patio dining at Grille 36, owned and operated by former Pittsburgh Steelers star running back Jerome Bettis, aka “The Bus,” located in the shadow of the Steelers’ home field, Heinz Stadium.

After you wrap up with a light lunch or happy hour, take your pup on a tour around PNC Park, another home to one of Pittsburgh’s famed sports teams, the Pittsburgh Pirates. Take N Shore Dr to Mazeroski Way, head left and walk around the park. Wrap up the day at Point State Park, where the Alleghany and Monongahela rivers meet to form the Ohio River. You’ll take Mazeroski Way to General Robinson Street, turn right, then make another right onto Federal. There you can cross the famed Roberto Clemente Bridge into Downtown Pittsburgh.

Once you cross the bridge, turn right onto Fort Duquesne Blvd and finish your walk at the park.
