Paradise

Serving the vibrant Paradise neighborhood just east of the Las Vegas Strip, the ArchWell Health Paradise area brings members a blend of indoor recreation, nature walks, cooking & wellness learning opportunities, and a rich cultural backdrop.

Start your day at the Paradise Recreation Center (4775 S. McLeod Drive), a county-run facility offering a welcoming range of senior programming. With weekday hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., the center hosts quarterly senior meetings, leisure classes like yoga and card games, exercise opportunities in shaded outdoor areas, and community-focused events designed to keep mobility and social connection alive.

Within the recreation center and in nearby public spaces, mild physical activity options include walking shaded loops, participating in seated movement sessions, or gathering in small groups for games like Scrabble or cards—many of which are free for Older Adults.

While traditional cooking classes aren’t widely offered inside Paradise itself, local organizations occasionally host nutrition and cooking demonstrations for older adults. Community groups like GrowingNV have promoted “Cooking Matters” workshops at neighborhood sites including nearby parks, focused on healthy meals and seasonal eating.

When it’s time to enjoy fresh air and wider green spaces, Sunset Regional Park is a short drive away. The park spans over 300 acres, with 3.5 miles of walking trails, a fishing pond stocked seasonally with trout and catfish, rest areas, and open lawns that invite leisurely strolls and fresh-air outings—all in a peaceful, accessible setting .

Though older adults in Paradise may choose to venture to nearby downtown or university areas, there’s strong value in neighborhood offerings like local cultural walking—particularly near UNLV and the historic Paradise Palms district, where mid-century homes offer architectural interest for slow-paced exploration.

For social connection, members can take part in senior group activities at Paradise Recreation Center or nearby West Flamingo Senior Center, which offers low-impact exercise, Zumba, tai chi, quilting, computer classes, social dances, craft clubs, and occasional lunches or special events at minimal cost.

Whether you’re joining gentle fitness, staying social over games and lunches, exploring a walking trail by the pond, attending a nutrition demo, or discovering a cultural neighborhood stroll, life in Paradise offers ArchWell Health members multiple avenues to stay healthy, engaged, and connected close to home.
