Paradise Hills Park

I do apologize if you read this, dear Paradise Hill Park, you are indeed better than three stars, and I'm doing some soul searching, asking myself how I could rate you so. You are, indeed, covered in green grass, with large open spaces where children might frollic, a smattering of trees line your perimeter, sheltering us from the New Mexico sun, and you offer areas for groups to gather and picnic together, again, a bonus feature pushing your star value upward.And oh how I haven't begun to note your most impressive feature, the skate/bike/scooter park in your belly. Sure, it's not a theme park, but the kids certainly appear to enjoy it, and after you've watched them come and go for a couple of hours it's clear that in this era, the scooter is winning the popularity contest. It's all good, Paradise Hills Park, you're a winner, encouraging people to get some exercise in the heart of a pandemic, offering recreation, connection, and a slice of green on a westside sand dune. I guess I can't really explain this rating I bestow upon you other than to state that meh, I've enjoyed much better.

Shout out to parks n Rec!! What a great job they do with the grounds here and the kids love the skate park. Decent 1/2 pipe and good park layout for the little ones. Kudos.

Great park for getting exercise or just to enjoy the outdoors. There are lots of places to sit under the shade or have a picnic.
