About Us

Mission

Riverlife’s mission is simple: To reclaim, restore and promote Pittsburgh’s riverfronts as the environmental, recreational, cultural and economic hub for the people of this region and our visitors.

Riverlife (formerly Riverlife Task Force) is a public-private partnership established in 1999 to guide and advocate for the redevelopment of Pittsburgh’s riverfronts. Riverlife works to reconnect Pittsburgh with its rivers by bringing recreation, ecological restoration and economic opportunity back to our waterfronts.

Today, Riverlife’s stewardship extends up the Allegheny River to the 31st Street Bridge, down the Monongahela River to the Hot Metal Bridge, and along the Ohio River to the West End Bridge. Through a variety of public-private partnerships integrating the efforts of state, city, and private developers, Riverlife points proudly to a host of projects already in place, with several currently underway and more planned for the future. This seamless sequence of open spaces for civic engagement will ultimately knit our neighborhoods together and reconnect us with our living environment.
