About the Park
James Island holds this one: Riverland Woods Pet Park, a free off-leash spot in the 29412 zip code tied to the Riverland Woods residential community. Public records don't list fencing, surface, or hours, so check the setup in person before letting your dog loose, and confirm whether non-residents are welcome. The island side of Charleston is popular with dog owners for its slower pace, and an off-leash outlet close to home saves the drive to bigger parks downtown or across the Ashley. Lowcountry summers run hot and sticky, so early visits work best from June through September. Pack water, bring waste bags as a fallback, and keep an eye out for posted community rules at the entrance.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Riverland Woods Pet Park is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.
Best of all, Riverland Woods Pet Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
