History

A group of Freemasons from Fresno, California purchased the 138-acre property for use as a summer retreat in 1924. They laid out streets with names related to Freemasonry. The area continues to be under the auspices of the Paradise Park Masonic Club, with homes owned by members.

In August 2020, Paradise Park was put under an evacuation order due to the CZU Lightning Complex fires.
