Hazelwood Trail

The 1.9-mile pedestrian & bicycle connection.

Multi-Use Path: A 10-foot wide permeable asphalt trail runs the length of Blair Street to connect to the Hot Metal Bridge to the north, and Hazelwood Avenue and Gloster Street to the south.

The Hazelwood Trail

For over 100 years, the land now called Hazelwood Green was occupied by private industry and closed to public use. With the purchase and development of the site by Almono and the opening of the Hazelwood Trail, Hazelwood residents and all of Pittsburgh have gained a wonderful shared amenity.

Extending for 1.9-miles parallel to one of Pittsburgh’s last stretches of undeveloped riverfront, the Hazelwood Trail connects Hazelwood to the Eliza Furnace, Three Rivers Heritage, and Great Allegheny Passage trails. This marks not only a major expansion of Pittsburgh’s trail network, but also a new opportunity for Greater Hazelwood residents, and future tenants and residents of Hazelwood Green, to move freely and easily via non-motorized transportation, to enjoy the beauty of the space, and to access future programming and events at the site.

To further encourage cycling and enhance safety, a  bicycle fix-it station has been installed at Blair Street and Eliza Street. The station provides bike tools, an air pump, and a hook for hanging your bike during repair. 

Accessing the Hazelwood Trail.

The Hazelwood Trail can be accessed from the north via the southwest corner of the intersection at Hot Metal Bridge and Second Avenue, and at Blair Street and Second Avenue. There is a bicycle ramp at the northern end of the cycle track segment along Blair Street to facilitate bicyclist movement onto the trail when entering Blair Street from Second Avenue. On the southern end, the Hazelwood Trail can be accessed from Gloster Street at Tecumseh Street or Hazelwood Avenue.
