Port St. Lucie residents have a new place to enjoy the outdoors, participate in recreational activities, and help their dogs get some exercise.
After an inauguration ceremony on July 30, Riverland Paseo Park officially opened to the public.
Located at 12151 SW Community Blvd., 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 catering 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 variety of attractions, making it easy for residents to watch a game on the fields, have a picnic, take a peaceful walk, or let their dogs make new friends.
Among the available amenities: A two-acre dog park featuring separate enclosures for small, medium, and large breeds, with plenty of space for puppies to run and play.
Lighted softball and multi-use soccer 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 are thrilled to not only contribute quality housing but also essential infrastructure to support Port St. Lucie’s dynamic growth,” said Misha Ezratti, president of GL Homes.
“Riverland Paseo Park marks an important milestone as the first park west of I-95.
This is just the beginning of our many innovative and community-focused developments that 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 city’s first park in Riverland and the first city park west of I-95, excluding McCarty Ranch Preserve and Campground.
It is one of nearly 50 parks in the city of 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.
