Riverland Paseo Park Open to the Public – And Their Pooches

By City of Port St. Lucie July 30, 2024

Port St. Lucie residents have a new place to enjoy the outdoors, participate in recreational activities and help the dog get some exercise.

After a ribbon-cutting ceremony on July 30, 2023, Riverland Paseo Park was officially opened to the public. Located at 12151 SW Community Boulevard, the 12-acre park is a collaboration between the City of Port St. Lucie and homebuilder GL Homes, which developed the 4,000-acre Riverland community that caters to active adults and retirees.

“Riverland Paseo Park is a wonderful example of how the City of Port St. Lucie can collaborate with our stakeholders to create unique public spaces that enrich the lives of our residents,” said Mayor Shannon Martin.

The new park features a number of attractions, making it easy for residents to check out a game on the fields, have a picnic lunch, take a leisurely stroll or let their dogs make new friends. Among the available amenities:

  • A two-acre dog park that features individual compounds for small, medium and large breeds. There is room for pups to run and play.
  • Lighted softball and soccer/multipurpose fields. Reservations for these fields must be made in person at the Community Center.
  • Restrooms, bleachers and a concession stand.
  • A picnic area.
  • Shade structures are located throughout the park.­

“We’re thrilled to not only be contributing building quality homes but also essential infrastructure to support the dynamic growth of Port St. Lucie,” said Misha Ezratti, President of GL Homes. “Riverland Paseo Park marks a significant milestone as the first park west of I-95. This is just the beginning of our many innovative and community-focused developments we are eager to share with all city residents.”

Located south of Discovery Way at the southwest corner of Community Boulevard and Marshall Parkway, this is the first City park at Riverland and the first City park west of I-95 excluding McCarty Ranch Preserve and Campground. It is one of nearly 50 City parks across Port St. Lucie.

Riverland Paseo Park was developed in partnership with GL Homes and will be maintained by the City’s Parks and Recreation Department.
