I do apologize if you read this, dear Paradise Hill Park, you are indeed better than three stars,…read moreand 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.

It is an honor to be squeezed out once spring rolls around so the high school can practice from 4 to 6 PM but otherwise the courts are generally available and well visited. One of the great local pros Amanda runs tenacious groups from 12 to 2 and you can easily learn something by playing in an adjacent court. The rates seem reasonable, and the people all seem to know each other well and enjoy their time together as well as improving, smash his doubles strategy and coming to the net. It's not uncommon to find someone claiming to be the local marshal of the place cleaning up debris and letting the participants know of upcoming schedule changes. I find the nets somehow are always the right height. The active bocce ball and wall climbing chords immediately north of the tennis courts, as well as the birding new swimming complex that has been under construction for at least the last three years make one feel that this is the center of physical activity in North Albuquerque. The people are all very friendly and somewhat competitive. There isn't a lot of dispersion in talent among all the people who play there, but there seems to be a fair amount of good Nature competitiveness and play and I think that is one of the hallmarks of Albuquerque outdoor it seems to me that no matter how much the city has invested its citizens have reaped and 10 times that amount in their enjoyment, their longevity and their cardio

This is a review of the off-leash dog park area of the park…read more My boyfriend and I were traveling cross-country with our pup and needed an easy park right off the interstate to let our dog run around. This dog park fit the bill and was about a 2 minute drive once we took the exit. It's a decently sized park with a separate area for small dogs towards the back. I didn't see any faucets for running water (which is why I give it 4 stars instead of 5) but buckets are everywhere for people who bring their own water. Poop bags are available and I only saw a few pieces of poop around the park so I like to think most people clean up after themselves. There are lots of trees for shade and several benches for humans to sit and chat while the dogs run around. It's right next to a softball field, so that could be an issue when games are going on but did not affect us. All in all, I'm glad we stopped and I would definitely stop here again on another adventure!

We like that the people in this community are super friendly. Our little dog Paix loves playing at the dog park here, and has several regular friends that she gets to see and play with. It's kind of cute how excited she gets when she sees her doggie friends. The community uses this park for movies at the park nights during the summer months. The parking gets a little out of hand on these nights. Im thinking the parking lot probably fits 20-30 cars. So the streets get lined with park cars on movie nights. A lot of families also use this park on the weekends to have birthday parties with jumpers for the kids.

There is a reason for the double gate arrangements at these places, but seems like the dog owners are mostly all on their phones and chatting like it's their own backyard, rather than controlling their dogs. I'd stay away at busy times like 4-6pm. My dog has been attacked twice because of aggressive dogs, overcrowding and their unconcerned owners. There is even a section for questionable dogs, but people are not always taking advantage of it. Otherwise a pretty nice place. There are tennis courts, skate park and soccer fields. No restrooms.

A beautiful park. But a misleading message for the disabled…read more The park celebrates allowing children of all abilities to play. This is portrayed in pictures and sculptures. BUT, when we visited to use the wheelchair swings (a rarity in lots of places) - the swings were chained down and there was a sign with a phone number that said to call to have them unlocked. Unfortunately, we had driven almost an hour exclusively to visit this park only to find out you have to call to have the swings unlocked. The saddest part is that they are chained to the ground. So, then you are standing (sitting rather) looking at the possibility for fun, but you cannot use them. Long story short, no one came to unlock the swings although we called multiple numbers. (It makes sense that the swings would be locked as they could potentially be dangerous if someone where to misuse them or leave the ramp down and an able bodied child trip over them. But if this park is going to have a major aspect of its marketing be about inclusion then shouldn't there be a person present at all times to unlock one of the few features that is truly accessible? Let's face it the child with disabilities can't realistically use the slides and various other items able bodied kids can, so perhaps the approach to the swings should be re-evaluated). The park is so beautiful and really looks like a lot of fun for children and families. It is clean and spacious. There is a nice walking path around it. There is a water feature for kids who want to get out of the heat. There is exercise equipment which is accessible. There is even an area for dogs if you insist on bringing yours (although most of the park is off limits to dogs). This park looks great for both adults and children. It is also secured with safety latches on the gates so kids can't accidentally escape. Had we known one had to call ahead we would have. Thus, this is a cautionary tale. The park is fabulous BUT IF YOU NEED ACCESSIBILITY CALL FIRST.
