Paradise Community Center
Public Outreach Results

Pre-fire Paradisians knew and loved what was once the Senior Center for its central location, spacious rooms, and open arms to all types of events. While the building was lost in the Camp Fire, the center's spirit lives on! 

Public input suggested a desire to rebuild. The goal is a space for residents in Paradise and the surrounding communities to come together for events, meetings, and activities! In mid-2022, a public outreach campaign invited the public to share their thoughts and ideas on what a new center might look like.

Over 550 community members responded via an online survey and in-person. Below, you can view this outreach's results to understand better what your fellow Ridge residents hope to see for this potential new space. You’ll also see renderings of a possible design for the building, created to blend with the surrounding mountain environment.
