Heaven is an eternal reward that only God can offer and mankind accept.
Paradise is an achievable, perishable, temporary state of mind.

There will be eternity in heaven for those designated to be there. There will be eternity on earth as well for the "great crowd" to live there. (Rev. 7:9) The word paradise means a garden or park-like setting. This is actually what will happen on earth because he stated that he did not create the earth for no reason. (Isaiah 15:12; Ps. 115:16; Eccl. 1:4; Isa. 45:18) Summarizing Genesis 3:1-24... In the beginning Adam and Eve were placed in Eden. They had everything they needed and lacked nothing. Including direct communication from the Creator. If they had not disobeyed, which resulted in sin that they passed on to all humans, this beautiful garden would have extended throughout earth. Of course, they did disobey so that set up the need for Christ to come to earth to redeem mankind from sin and death. Actually, if they would not have disobeyed they would have been able to eat from the Tree of Life that was there in the garden. God's purpose will be realized. Sure He could have zapped them out right then and there but issues needed to be settled. The same issues came up with Job. That is: God's right to rule and if man will serve out of love and not out of selfish pursuits. When the time is right, we will see the end of this system. Heaven is where Jesus Christ is and his anointed Kings and Priests. They are the ones that will rule over the earth once all the wickedness, including the demons are done away with. (Rev. 14:1) For that 1,000 year reign it will be more wonderful than anyone can imagine. We will all be able to build, to plant and restore the earth to the conditions that will make it beautiful. We will have divine help! (Rev. 20:4) At last the meek will indeed inherit paradise. (Ps. 37:10, 11, 29; Zep. 2:3; Rev. 21:1-4) Then a final test. Then the "real world" and eternity........!

Heaven is a spiritual place made up of God and spiritual creatures including Jesus, types of angels and those who are selected from the earth to be priests and kings over the Earth.
Paradise is a physical place where Adam and Eve lived until they sinned. It contained plant and animal life of all kinds. Although it is not on the Earth at present, the bible tells us that God's purpose doesn't change so Paradise will be re-established. The bible is full of descriptions of the coming paradise. Jesus told the evil doer that he would be with Jesus in Paradise.

Heaven is where God is. Paradise is where Lazarus was in the Bible, while the evil man was in a different type of hell.
In the last days, all of heaven and earth will be recreated into paradise.

See also Studious One's answer (Hi !)
Paradise is the very highest and primal and final Heaven of God (The Trinity) and his infinite-sized family which can and should include each of us divinely beloved human sons of God in Jesus ! Paradise is our distant destiny after we progressively ascend many lower soul training heavens (all heavens are real, super-physical spheres) and the even more higher Heavens of our later spiritual and soul and mind replete training.
The truth of many heavens is clearly shown also in the Bible. Paul states that he was taken up into the third Heaven, and EVEN into Paradise. [the highest infinite, absolute, eternal, existential Heaven -- Paradise -- whose Isle is the nucleus (center) of all universe reality.]
Our local universe (linear) gravity is derived from the higher elliptic Paradise Gravity which holds all of the Universe of universes and higher spheres as a cosmos-- a harmonious system. Pardise forces are also the cause of our lower energy-matter levels down here.
Paradise is not only infinite in size; it is also in the center of each of the ultra-tiny sub-atomic pre-atomic particles, not yet discovered by our physicists; maybe in 10-30 more years. One hundred of them comprise each and every electron in the universe. Scientists will need much higher accelerator energies to be able to divide the electron and discover these 100 ultimate particles (or pre-particles) within.
All Personalities and Beings now living on Paradise have no limitations of space or time.This is not comprhensible now to humans.
The Absolute of space is Paradise
The Absolute of time is Eternity
The Absolute of You is GOD !
If you want much more revelation on Paradise and the one billion plus intermediate Heavens, email me.
"If God and Paradise were SMALL enough for our present human comprehensions, He and Paradise would not be LARGE enough for our Real needs !"

heaven a place of perfect peace and joy where God wipes away every tear.
paradise, in the account of the good thief, and also where christ went when he died, it speaks of Jesus preaching to the spirits in prision, also the bosom of Abraham, this refers to "another place" other than heaven or hell, tho it may also say the word hell in this instance but it only means any place other than heaven, we know Jesus did not go to hell where the devils are, in the first place since this place is referred to as prision, we know it is not hell, because once you go their you never get out so it cannot be refered to as a prision. Maybe someone else can add to my answer like father Joseph or another catholic.

Heaven is really the Universe of Universes. Paradise is at the center of that humongous multiuniversed dimension and is God's eternal dwelling place.

paradise was the holding place that saved went to before Jesus died.
After Jesus died le led captivity captive and took to heaven the hell enlarged itself and overtook paradise
interesting how heaven was made for all but God enlarged hell because it wasnt made for us but so many choose that path
