The Town of Paradise today officially opened Paradise Park, the Town’s latest additions to its recreation offerings. Mayor Dan Bobbett and council were joined by MP Ken McDonald for the Government of Canada and MHA Bernard Davis, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health and Community Services on behalf of  Eddie Joyce, Minister of Municipal Affairs for the ribbon cutting ceremony and tour of the park, followed by a family fun day.

“With the opening of Paradise Park, Sarah Davis Way has truly become the heart of recreational activities for the Town of Paradise,” said Mayor Dan Bobbett. “The new amenities paired with the recently built Paradise Double Ice Complex allow us to expand our recreation offerings within the Town, further encouraging physical activity and increasing community involvement.” 

Paradise Park is designed to enhance the recreational offerings within the Town for the enjoyment of all residents and visitors of Paradise. The Park features amenities such as; the Town’s first accessible playground, a splash pad, two beach volleyball courts, two dog parks, a sliding hill, a concession stand, and change rooms.
