Frick Park is the largest municipal park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, covering 600 acres (2.4 km²).

The park began when Henry Clay Frick, upon his death in 1919, bequeathed 150 acres (0.61 km²) south of Clayton, his Point Breeze mansion. He also arranged for a $2 million trust fund for long-term maintenance for the park, which opened in 1927. The park was enlarged from Point Breeze into Squirrel Hill to the border of Edgewood.
