Located between the Greater Pittsburgh International Airport and Pittsburgh, this large 1,589–acre park is home to the most heavily used of the county's three wave pools. An impressive diving platform adds to the attraction. Archaeologists from Carnegie Museum of Natural History helped identify the origins of the 1780 log cabin that gives the park its name, and the themes of the 11 groves and shelters pay homage to Native American tribes. Settlers Cabin is also the home of the Pittsburgh Botanical Garden, an ambitious development of 450 acres into a natural and national treasure highlighting the beauty of the area’s flora and fauna.
Settlers Cabin Park serves a growing population in the western section of the county. Phase 1 of the connector trail links Settler's Cabin Park to Walkers Mill in Collier Township. A future Phase 2, outside park property, will link to the adjacent Panhandle Trail; a 29-mile trail that stretches from Carnegie to Weirton, WV and includes a link to the Montour Trail.
Settlers Cabin Park has the busiest of the three wave pools operated by the county and also has tennis courts and a diving pool.
