Welcome to the park

Come make some new friends at 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.
