Clearview Common is located in the heart of the Uptown Central Business District on Washington Road in Mt. Lebanon. At just over 1/3 of an acre and once known as the Clearview Loop, the park occupies what was once an important transportation crossroad for the former trolley line that paved the way for Mt. Lebanon’s development as one of the first streetcar suburbs. Redesigned and reinvented through an extensive public process, the space now serves as an accessible green space where employees of nearby businesses, residents, and visitors can take a short break to read a book, enjoy lunch or the company of a friend.

Clearview Common serves as a focal point for numerous community events such as First Fridays, Plein Air, Light Up Night, Last Saturday Cinema, Winterfest, Ultra Party and more. Visitors to the park will soon be able to take part in yoga events and Crossfit style trainings. Public art is also envisioned that will celebrate Mt. Lebanon’s diverse population and further enhance the public experience of this community asset. In the warmer months it is not uncommon to see children enjoying the cooling spray of the fountain. Clearview Common is the public space that provides the Central Business District, residents, visitors, and community with a sense of place that strengthens the community by providing a place that acknowledges the importance of the trolley era in the community’s past and by providing a place to create memories for the future.
