Confirmed from Paradise Valley Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Basic outdoor activity space with 2 lighted tennis courts, exercise equipment & walking paths.
What runners say about Paradise Valley Park
This park has been around for years and if you’re from the valley, you know how much fun it can really be! Tons of workout equipment, and playgrounds, and large grassy areas where you can run your dogs. One of the jewels of Paradise Valley!
Great little fishing pond for the young children. Plenty of hungry fish with a wish to be caught by you. Handicap parking and lots of exploring walking paths around the pond and along the river. Public restroom too.
Such a great fenced in park with playground equipment, walking path and excersice equipment. There are also tennis courts and picnic tables. It is close to the walking path that heads to Morad Park as well.
Great little park. Tennis for the kids, big open field for the dog to chase the Frisbee, exercise equipment and walking path for the adults. I've never had an unfriendly encounter with people or pets.
