Padre Island · Corpus Christi, Texas
A 2.5-acre off-leash dog park where island pups and their people play, socialize, and make new friends — from dawn to dusk, 365 days a year.
Welcome to the park
Riley P. Dog Park is a volunteer-built, community-funded park created so island dogs have a safe, fenced place to run free. Whether your pup is a sprinter or a sniffer, there is room to roam, shade to rest in, and plenty of friendly faces — on two legs and four.
Bring water, bring treats, and bring your best manners. We keep the park wonderful by looking out for one another and cleaning up after our dogs.
