Mellon Park

Mellon Park is a significant public space located in the Shadyside neighborhood of Pittsburgh. This park, originally the estate of Richard Beatty Mellon, features rich history and beautiful landscapes.

Established on the grounds of a 60-room mansion, which was once the largest house in Pittsburgh, the Walled Garden was developed in 1929 by landscape architects Vitale and Geiffert. The original layout was designed by Alden and Harlow in 1912, with further enhancements by the Olmsted Brothers. The park reflects cultural value through its carefully maintained gardens, with ongoing contributions from volunteers and master gardeners.
