The Mega Park of the Year Award, for parks with 501 or more sites, was presented to the manager of Paradise RV Resort, Scott Mathews, by members of the Arizona Outdoor Hospitality Association. The annual AZOHA Park of the Year Awards recognize RV resorts that deliver extraordinary guest experiences as a result of all-around excellence in operations, professionalism, marketing, customer service and industry involvement for more than 20 years.

“Paradise RV offers something for everyone who stays with us, but mostly it’s the friendly culture, convenient location and all the amenities that bring guests back every year,” said Scott Mathews. “To be recognized by Arizona Outdoor Hospitality Association makes our whole Encore team very proud. The Mega Park award recognizes the tremendous efforts that our Paradise RV Resort staff put into ensuring our guests have a wonderfully relaxing experience.”  

Located in Sun City, Arizona, on the northwest side of Phoenix, the 950-site resort offers many onsite activities and amenities. Guests enjoy the beautiful seasonal climate, the comfortable community atmosphere and the regularly arranged social events and scheduled activities. Guests frequently hit the popular pickleball courts, cool off in the stunning swimming pool or relax in the steaming hot tub during their stay.
