The mission of Allegheny RiverTrail Park (ARP) – formerly known as Aspinwall Riverfront Park – is to enhance the quality of life for the community by providing free public access to parkland and multi-use trails along the Allegheny River. They are committed to riverfront revitalization and inclusive community engagement through recreational, educational, cultural and social activities for a diverse population.
We cannot think of a better place to continue our mission of enriching the Pittsburgh region with year-round programs and events about British history, tradition and culture that give participants opportunities to engage with one another in a lively spirit of camaraderie. As well as honoring King Charles III and the late Queen by continuing to plant trees for future generations.
