About Paradise Park
Paradise Park is one of the Richmond Fan District's pocket parks. It was designed by Carlton Abbott in 1968 and is a unique example of classic modern architecture.
The park is located in the block bounded by Floyd, Allen, Grove, and Vine. If you're a Fan resident, you may have passed by this block many times without knowing the park is there. Access to the park is gained through the two alleys on Allen Ave. and the two on Vine St.
