Don’t expect to see the waterworks anytime soon at Point State Park.

The majestic fountain that marks the confluence of Pittsburgh’s three iconic rivers won’t be turned on until 2026, due to a bevy of planned upgrades, the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources said Tuesday.

State officials plan to spend $3.4 million in the coming months at the park that defines Downtown Pittsburgh’s Golden Triangle.

That price tag includes upgrading fountain lighting and light fixtures, as well as repairing walkways, improving landscaping and repairing fountain leaks and on-site utilities.

“These important upgrades to Point State Park’s infrastructure are critical to ensuring it remains one of Pennsylvania’s most visited places and a staple of Pittsburgh’s culture,” said John Hallas, the state parks director for DCNR. “We’re confident that once these upgrades are complete, Point State Park will be better than ever before.”

The work, pegged to start in May and run through next spring, was launched in anticipation of a big year for Pittsburgh. The city’s 2026 calendar already includes the NFL Draft and events surrounding the nation’s 250th anniversary.

State officials have said Point State Park’s facelift “aligns with the (Gov. Josh) Shapiro administration’s broader vision for revitalizing Pennsylvania’s tourism and infrastructure.”

Shapiro in October also announced an ambitious Downtown Pittsburgh development plan buoyed by $600 million of investments. That work includes nearly 1,000 new housing units, improvements to public spaces in the Golden Triangle and efforts to improve public safety.

Point State Park will not be able to host large events while work is underway, state officials have said. Some recreational amenities and facilities also might close or have limited access during that time.

The Great Allegheny Passage trail, Fort Pitt Museum, Fort Pitt Blockhouse and public restrooms will remain open, officials said.

At the confluence of the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio rivers, Point State Park is a 36-acre park and a National Historic Landmark.

The fountain commemorates the three rivers and the historical role they played in the nation’s early development.
