Mellon Park
An arboretum in Shadyside
The Mellon Park Arboretum is the City of Pittsburgh’s first public arboretum.
The Trees of Mellon Park
There are 35 trees located on both sides of the park that have been selected to be a part of the arboretum. All of those trees have signs indicating their species and providing interesting facts. We encourage everyone to go out, find the trees, and learn about them. These trees represent just a fraction of the over 100 different species of trees in Mellon Park.
Some select species include American yellowwood, Carolina silverbell, European spindle, and lacebark pine.
