plemented by a network of lakes, ponds
and rivers, as well as a boardwalk, which
all provides an excellent opportunity for
encountering birds, native flora and out-
door enjoyment. Three joined sections of
the walk run right through Paradise. The
first section is known as Paradise Walk,
part of the Newfoundland T’Railway Pro-
vincial Park (a rail bed route that extends
for more than 880 kilometers that links
urban, rural and wilderness areas). The
T’railway Park forms the Newfoundland
section of the Trans Canada Trail. The
remaining two sections are respectively
known as Neil’s Pond Walk and the Octa-
gon Pond Walk.
ADDING SERVICES
Paradise has also progressed in providing
greater public services through a range of
initiatives. Water and sewer lines have ex-
panded into rural areas which previously
lacked such service. There are two brand
new elementary schools to complement
an older school, but Cumby says another
new school will soon be added to the mix.
While there are high schools in nearby
Mount Pearl, Paradise currently has none.
