The John Gorrie Dog Park at Riverside Park is located at the northwest corner of Riverside Park, adjacent to College Street. Approximately one-third of the property, under the Interstate 95 overpass, has been re-purposed from a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) storage lot and added to the existing lands of Riverside Park. Through an in-kind donation from the Haskell Company, and with th

e support of Riverside Avondale Preservation, a small group of community members met regularly with a landscape architect to develop a plan for the park. With the support of the Florida Department of Transportation and the Jacksonville City Council, the land under the bridge and part of Riverside Park has been transformed to a great public use. Thanks to Councilman Jim Love, who matched his District Council Bond Funds with private funds and created a successful public private partnership. Thank you to our numerous sponsors for making this project a reality! The park is a City of Jacksonville park and subject to City park rules and regulations.

Great News. The City is installing dog turf in the big dog park beginning tomorrow August 22nd and hopefully being completed on the 25th. During that time the park will be closed. With the new turf the area will look good again and be a new play area for our favorite friends.
As a reminder, many of our local residents and businesses donated a lot of money to build the park. Its maintenance is left to the city and more importantly each one of us that use the park. In this vein, please remember to pick up after your dog, do not let your dog dig holes and watch your dog's interaction with others. It is tempting to sit and be on your phone while your dog is at play, however, it is up to each of us to do what we can to make the park and clean and enjoyable place for everyone. If you see any problems, let RAP know and we will try to address it.
Thanks to you all for making the John Gorrie Dog Park and treasure in Riverside and Avondale.
