What visitors say
★★★★★
“Fun little park with all metal ramps, a small half pipe and a couple street features. Only wish they didn’t have the ramps so close to each other and the best quarter pipe right against the hubba. Probably needs a redesign but still fun for a few laps.”
★★★★★
“Great park. Skate.park is 🔥 For the most part all good kids hanging out. Take the dogs and the kids.”
★★★★★
“Not anywhere as many 🌳 as I remember as a child. It's strange, this is the same at many parks I recall from youth.
Maybe because of my size, the parks seemed so large, with giant trees.
Now the parks are sparse of trees, and bland. Did the trees grow old, and die? Or is it…”
★★★★★
“Paradise Hills Park is one of the greenest parks in the Metro. It is so refreshing to arrive early, shortly after sunrise and walk around the park. Hats off to the maintenance crews that keep this park in such pristine condition.”
