The Paradise Hills Community Center (PHCC) Master Plan aims to establish a direction for the expansion and improvement of the approximately 7.3 acre site that will bring activity, community and nature into the center of the complex.

This Master Plan is designed to meet the needs of the fastest growing area in Bernalillo County. The core idea for the planning process was to develop a plan from the inside out through a public charrette, where the design team camped out at the Community Center for several days, developing the Master Plan while listening to constant feedback from Center staff, visitors, users, County staff, and neighbors. The resulting Master Plan is rooted in a sense of place with future site development embracing the remaining swatch of basalt field and a dynamic new courtyard that opens to views of the Sandias. A new trail system weaves across the site and in and out of the Community Center.

The goals are to connect the Annex at the far west end of the site to the Main Center; provide new pedestrian crosswalks and a crossing plaza enabling kids to cross safely from the Community Center to Paradise Hills Park and to local schools; connect the whole campus to the neighborhood with multiple entrances; and connect the whole campus into the larger network of trails and recreational facilities such as the Paradise Hill Little League Complex to the west and the Paradise Hills hike and bike Trail system to the east.
