Facilities: There are basically no amenities on the pier: no benches, no fish cleaning stations, basically nothing. A playground area, considerable free parking spaces, and restrooms are located by the parking lot that sits just a short walk from the pier. Tables and picnic facilities are located near the front of the pier.
Handicapped Facilities: Handicapped parking and restrooms near the parking lot. The pier itself is wood planking with a railing approximately 40 inches high.
How To Get There: From Highway 4 take the Railroad Exit north toward the center of Pittsburg; when Railroad ends, turn left on Third Street and follow it to Marina Boulevard; at Marina turn left and follow to Bay Side Drive; now turn right and follow it to Riverview Park Drive (just before the marina). Turn left and follow it to the parking lot.
Management: City of Pittsburg.
We want to take our families to the Pittsburgh Pier to fish this fall-children, older members and wheel chair bound.l. Most of us have little experience in fishing, but want the children to experience this along with learning more about the out-of doors education. Some of our family actually live in the area but have never been fishing. Which sites would you recommend?
area would and enjoy the out-doors and the science of the area.
thank you.
Given the changes to the pier, I would actually recommend going down the road a few miles to the pier by the Antioch Bridge. It has good facilities, is larger, and may be somewhat easier to handle for someone in a wheelchair.
