Paradise Park Historic District in Thomasville, Georgia was listed on the National Register of Historic Places was 1984 and it was increased in 2002.^[1] It consists of Thomasville's Paradise Park, and properties including 15 contributing buildings and one non-contributing building.

The area, subdivided from S. Alexander Smith estate, was known as "Yankee's Paradise" at the turn of the 20th century, when Northern visitors had winter homes and cottages in the area. Residents included George Forbes, owner of Forbes Furniture and Hardware; W.S. Keefer, president of the Thomasville Cigar Company; Charles Hebard, a Philadelphia-based lumber "magnate"; and Judge Strawbridge, a clothing distributor.^[2]

The increase added the property at 502 South Broad Street as a contributing building and provided documentation justifying reclassification to "contributing" of a previously non-contributing building.^[3]
