Opening Tuesday, Nov. 10, the park is a stretch of land west of Baldwin’s Glenwood bridge from Hazelwood just southeast of Pittsburgh. Katie Kovalchik, a project manager with Friends of the Riverfront, characterized the new transformed riverfront as a unique space set amid a largely urban segment of the trail.Eagle's Landing is "a different kind of opportunity, with bird watching and education," she said. Bird enthusiasts can engage with educational signage about local species.The name of the park is inspired by a nearby nesting pair of bald eagles. Kovalchik explained that special care was given to avoid disrupting their natural habitat.“Originally, when they were above the hillside, we were not going to be constructing during certain parts of the year,” she said, “because we didn't want the noise or the movement here to negatively impact them.” A storm in 2024 forced the eagles to move their nest across the river into Glen Hazel, which allowed construction to proceed under normal procedure.Now, fans of the eagle pair can experience the eagles' natural habitat for themselves with the park's life-sized interactive eagle nest.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=16Z2UP_1Gu5XlD200" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=16Z2UP_1Gu5XlD200" width="840" height="1120" ><figcaption>Friends of the Riverfront Birdwatchers can enjoy local species at Eagle’s Landing Riverfront Park in Baldwin Borough.</figcaption></figure>The park was part of the 2022 Baldwin Riverfront Park Master Plan, developed by Friends of the Riverfront with resident input to expand trail access and amenities in the area. Funding for the project was provided by public and private partners, with contributions from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources as well as private sponsors like Giant Eagle. The project’s budget ended up at $310,000 for phase 1, with $215,000 specifically dedicated to construction.After the park opens Nov. 10, Friends of the Riverfront will be seeking additional funding for a second phase of construction at the site, which would include a pavilion and bike racks.</div></body>
