It is administered by the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission in cooperation with the Bushy Run Battlefield Heritage Society. The park encompasses over 250 acres and is listed on the National Register of Historic places.

In August 1763, a two-day battle occurred at Bushy Run between British and Native forces. With the British victory here, they were able to relieve the siege at Fort Pitt and open the west to future settlement.
