The Town of Paradise is currently working on the development of a comprehensive Master Plan for Paradise Park, and they want to hear from all of us!

First and foremost, we want to express our sincere gratitude to the Town of Paradise for their continued support of our program. Without the temporary fencing provided by the town, we wouldn't be able to provide programming with the growth we've seen over the past number of years.  The town's dedication to our community and its commitment to fostering youth sports is commendable.  However, we also acknowledge that improvements to the fields are necessary for a better baseball experience.

The Paradise Park fields currently have inadequate drainage and uneven terrain which poses challenges during practices and games. Improvements to the existing fields, or a new dedicated field area for the junior divisions would help ensure that the fields are safer and more enjoyable for everyone involved.

Imagine a future where Paradise Park expands beyond its current boundaries, transforming into a hub of baseball with permanent fields and supporting amenities. Picture gleaming bleachers where families can cheer on their favorite players, storage areas to securely store our equipment, and facilities that cater to the needs of our growing program. 

The Town of Paradise values our input as stakeholders in the community, and they are actively seeking ideas from all of us for the Paradise Park Master Plan. This is an opportunity to have your voice heard, to contribute your thoughts, and to help shape the future of the very park that has brought us so much joy and camaraderie.

We encourage each and every member of Paradise Minor Baseball, from players and coaches to parents and supporters, to take a few moments and submit your ideas for the Paradise Park Master Plan. Think about what improvements and additions would enhance our baseball experience, and share your suggestions on how to make Paradise Park even better.

Whether it's requesting additional fields, advocating for upgraded amenities, or proposing innovative ideas to foster a stronger sense of community, your input matters. Together, we can help create a park that not only serves our baseball program but also becomes a treasured asset for future generations of children.

To submit your ideas, please visit the official website of the town of Paradise link on the right. Remember, every idea counts, no matter how big or small.

In addition to the Online Survey there are in person events to get engaged and provide your input by attending these pop-up events:

  • Explore Paradise Park with the designers at one of the Walk & Talk events:
    • Saturday, June 3, 2023, 10:00 - 11:00 a.m. (meet at the splash pad)
    • Tuesday June 6, 7:00 - 8:00 p.m. (meet at the splash pad)

    • Join us at the at the Paradise Double Ice Complex on Tuesday, June 13 to explore design and programming options for Paradise Park. This will be an opportunity for participants to get involved and share their ideas and suggestions. The session will run from 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. followed by an informal question and answer exchange from 7:30 - 8:00 p.m.
    • We will also provide an opportunity for children and youth to participate and share their ideas for the park while their parents take part in the workshop. A registered childcare provider will be on-site in a separate area to facilitate and supervise this activity. 

The feedback gathered from the proposed engagement activities will be crucial to the development of the new Paradise Park Master Plan. As this plan will set the direction for the Park in the coming years, your input is valued and greatly appreciated. The Plan is expected to be completed by November 2023.
