It is located next to Quaker Valley School District's Osborne Elementary Campus. The Park, named in 2008, is managed by the Osborne Trail and Park Association (OTPA). MRRNP is named for Mary Roberts Rinehart, the 20th century American Mystery writer, born in 1876 in Allegheny City (now Pittsburgh's Northside), who lived in Glen Osborne from 1911 to 1922 in an estate adjacent to the park location.MRRNP features walking trails that wind through rich Ravine and Floodplain Forest Communities, including Sycamore (Box-Elder) Floodplain Forest and remnant Green Ash - Mixed Hardwood Floodplain Forest, following a stream, and passing planted demonstration Pollinator and Barrens gardens. The nature park also showcases several artistic hardscape features made by local artisans including a hand-built stone amphitheater and a stone firepit ring made by Eston Owens, a wrought iron sign made by George Gaadt, and a custom made powder coated steel front perimeter fence made by Collin Carrier of London Pattern: Hand crafted metalwork. The fire pit may be used with prior approval.The park has been a host location for Sewickley StoryWalk®, a self-guided walking tour where enlarged laminated pages of illustrated children's books are placed in series along the routes.

Allegheny Valley School is a private non-profit organization based in the Pittsburgh region that provides services to individuals with disabilities. The school operates more than 125 programs across Pennsylvania, with locations in Allegheny, Beaver, Bucks, Butler, Dauphin, Lebanon, Mercer, Montgomery, and Philadelphia Counties. Of the 125 programs statewide, 67 are based in Western Pennsylvania, 17 in Central Pennsylvania and 44 in Eastern Pennsylvania. The headquarters are in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania. It was established in 1960 to care for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities; when the Pittsburgh Home for Babies, an orphanage, closed, the Allegheny Valley School accepted the 10 children with intellectual disabilities who had been there. In 1983, Pittsburgh sportscaster Myron Cope founded the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix to raise funds for the Allegheny Valley School and The Autism Society of Pittsburgh. Cope said "My son, who was born brain-damaged and can neither speak nor otherwise function normally, has lived at Allegheny Valley School since 1982. For my late wife Mildred and me, Allegheny Valley School was a Godsend. My son is happy and is cared for with expertise, understanding and love." In 1996, Cope gave the rights to the Terrible Towel to the Allegheny Valley School, the proceeds from which continue to fund the school. In 2000, the Western Center, a state-run facility for disabled persons, closed and some residents were moved to the Allegheny Valley School. In 2008, Allegheny Valley School was acquired by NHS Human Services. As of 2013, it was serving more than 900 children, adults and senior citizens; residents have a variety of physical disabilities, medical complications, behavioral management needs.
