Public Engagement

The Town of Paradise regularly seeks input from residents, community groups and businesses on programs, initiatives and policy decisions. Through Public Engagement activities, our stakeholders provide input to help us make informed decisions for Paradise.

Current Public Engagement Activities:

Proposed Community Boat House

The Town has acquired the property located at 1717 Topsail Road and is proposing to make the site a Community Boat House for Octagon Pond.

This Fall, site work involves removing the current structure at the location. Crews have removed any items from the building that can be re-purposed for other uses. Building demolition will begin on Wednesday, September 15 and is expected to be completed by Friday, September 17. During site demolition, the sidewalk in the area will be closed and residents are asked to avoid the site.

The Town’s Recreation and Open Space Master Plan identified the potential for water activities and a Community Boat House, which would also offer storage to the Avalon Dragons for their paddle boat program, for Octagon Pond. The Town looks forward to working with the Avalon Dragons on this project.

As part of the planning for the proposed Community Boat House, the Town is seeking input from residents and community groups on the types of amenities to bring to the area. Suggestions, comments and ideas can be submitted via email.

Updates on the Community Boat House project will be provided on the Town website and social media.

The Town of Paradise wants to hear from residents about amenities for the newest trail, Adams Pond. Since being completed in 2020, the Adams Pond Trail has become well-used by residents. The Town has retained Mills and Wright Landscape Architecture to engage local residents to get input on the types of amenities needed for the Trail. The input gathered from the public engagement will help guide the development of an amenity concept plan for Adams Pond Trail.

The first phase of the public engagement will involve a Trailside Pop-up on September 7. Consultants from Mills and Wright, who will be clearly identified, will be on the Adams Pond Trail, between 9-11 a.m. and 6-8 p.m., seeking input directly from users.

The consultants will also be in the lobby of the Paradise Double Ice Complex on September 8, between 6-8 p.m.
