Riverland Paseo Park

Riverland Paseo Park is a 12-acre Port St. Lucie community park at 12151 SW Community Blvd. with a lighted softball field, two lighted soccer fields, a 2-acre dog park, climbing boulders and a concession stand.

The city's page places the park south of Discovery Way at the southwest corner of Community Boulevard and Marshall Parkway, and describes it as a partnership between the City of Port St. Lucie and GL Homes (City of Port St. Lucie, Riverland Paseo Park). Its detailed amenity list covers one lighted softball field and two lighted soccer or multipurpose fields, all reservable; a dog park with three compounds; a concession building; restrooms; shade structures over the bleachers; a picnic area; and parking. The page also lists pet waste disposal stations, climbing boulders and free wifi.

On the city's Park Projects listing, Riverland Paseo appears as a new 12-acre community park in western Port St. Lucie, designed to serve families, residents and pet owners alike (City of Port St. Lucie, Park Projects). The Riverland Paseo page gives 772-878-2277 as its contact number.

Riverland Paseo Park opens at 8 a.m. and closes at 10 p.m., its field lights go off under a 9:30 p.m. curfew, and the dog park shuts earlier, at sunset.

The posted hours on the Port St. Lucie park page list the park at 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. and add a separate line for the dog park, 8 a.m. to sunset (Riverland Paseo Park, Hours). The ball fields carry lights; the dog compounds keep the shorter daylight schedule.

The 2-acre Riverland Paseo dog park is divided into three compounds, one each for small, medium and large breeds, and pet waste disposal stations are part of the amenity list. For dog owners in other parts of Port St. Lucie, the city's McChesney Park on Cashmere Boulevard has a 3/4-acre dog park with the same three-compound layout; the Digital Towns guide to McChesney Park covers its rules.

Riverland Paseo's softball field and two soccer or multipurpose fields are booked in person at the PSL Community Center during business hours, using the city's athletic field rate table.

The park page itself says reservable amenities are booked in person at the Community Center (Riverland Paseo Park, Detailed Amenities). On the Port St. Lucie rate table, sports fields with lights are listed at $20.28 before tax for the 3-hour minimum, against $16.24 for athletic fields without lights, and each additional hour per field is $10.42 before tax (City of Port St. Lucie, Reservations and Rentals, Sports/Athletic Field Rentals). Lights cost extra and are charged by the hour for each field, at $4.88 before tax on the softball diamond and $8.64 before tax on a soccer or multipurpose field. These are the rates posted on October 22, 2026.

Riverland Paseo counts as a community park, and the Port St. Lucie rules let groups hold community park fields and pavilions no more than 90 days out. A Saturday or Sunday game has to be booked by 8 p.m. on the preceding Wednesday, and a weekday slot needs three clear days of notice. Payment is due in full at booking. If rain, lightning or winds of 25 mph or more force a cancellation, the city asks renters to call 772-878-2277 within five days after the reservation, and park staff must confirm the weather before a refund or new date is granted.

The city's Park Projects listing places several other new or coming parks beside Riverland Paseo, including Stars and Stripes Park on Village Parkway in Tradition, Tradition Regional Park on Tradition Parkway and Duck Court Park near Becker Road.

Stars and Stripes Park, at 12441 SW Village Parkway, is described as a new patriotic-themed park in Tradition (City of Port St. Lucie, Park Projects listing). Tradition Regional Park, at 13120 SW Tradition Parkway, appears as a 110-acre park with a BMX adaptive all-wheel track facility, sports facilities, trails and event spaces, with an announcement that it is under construction. Duck Court Park, at 452 SW Rad Court off SW Kestor Drive near the Becker Road turnpike interchange, carries a notice that it is closed for construction.

The same Port St. Lucie listing also shows Rosser Lakes Preserve at 3792 SW Rosser Boulevard, a 105-acre preserve between I-95 and Rosser Boulevard with two lakes, shoreline fishing, canoe and kayak access and biking and hiking trails. Wilderness Park on SE Westmoreland Blvd. and O.L. Peacock Sr. Park and Lake on SW Dreyfuss Blvd. are also on the listing, both described as being improved.

The city broke ground on Riverland Paseo Park on Jan. 12, 2023 and opened it on July 30, 2024, after naming it in the FY 2023-24 budget as one of four new parks.

The FY 2023-24 adopted budget book says the City of Port St. Lucie would bring on four new parks within a few years: Pioneer Park at The Port, Riverland Paseo Park, Tradition Regional Park and Torino Regional Park (City of Port St. Lucie, FY 2023-24 Adopted Budget). Its capital improvement project list carries Riverland Paseo Community Park as a park construction project in council district 3, and the Parks Division capital outlay includes an office equipment request of $8,800 for Paseo Park.

On the current Park Projects listing, Pioneer Park appears as a 9.75-acre park with no coming soon tag, while Tradition Regional Park and Torino Regional Park still carry Coming Soon tags and under construction notices (Park Projects, Tradition Regional Park and Torino Regional Park entries). Separate Digital Towns guides cover Tradition Regional Park and Torino Regional Park.

The Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update lists Riverland Paseo Park at 12.0 acres, established in 2024, in the Community class, and counts 55,973 visits there.

In the plan's visitation review, built on Placer Labs cell phone data, Riverland Paseo Park sits under the plan's Low-Visitation Locations heading, which describes it, Girl Scout Friendship Park at 55,529 visits and US Submarine Veterans Park at 48,995 as showing lower, but still notable, visitation (Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update, Placer.ai Number of Visits). Those counts come from the plan's enhanced Placer Labs method, under which a visit is any time a person entered or walked through the site, and the same section says Whispering Pines Park leads with 684,317 visits.

The Port St. Lucie plan's population chapter notes that the highest growth among census tracts occurred in the Tradition/Riverland area, where new housing developments were delivered on previously agricultural land. The inventory table also lists three Riverland sites as undeveloped park land, including SITE 2 at 55.9 acres and SITE 3 at 57.4 acres.
