Clean, and well maintained, this park has a basketball court, a playground, tennis court and a multi use open space. Good place to meet for a bicycling club to bike the new trail since this place also has multiple parking spots.

Not a bad little park, it is small and intimate. There is a full size basketball court, 2 tennis…read morecourts, a kids playground, and an open field with a little walking track around it. There is also a little trail that starts here, not sure where it goes, I very never walked down it. A little noisy since it's down next to 36 and 80th.

My husband and I came to play pickle and had a poor experience and would reccomend others not to go…read moreunfortunately. We found an empty court and began a simple singles game--nothing disruptive, just enjoying the space that was clearly available. The courts are first come first serve per the Thornton Rec Center Employees and website. Moments later, an older woman came over and rudely told us that singles play wasn't allowed and we needed to play doubles. Not only was her tone unnecessarily harsh, but she insisted it was a "rule," despite there being no signage or clear policy anywhere stating that singles games were prohibited. If there is an empty court, people should be able to play how they want. The courts are supposed to be first come, first serve, but it seems like a group of older regulars have taken it upon themselves to control who plays, how, and when. It felt more like we were intruding on their private club than participating in a community activity at a public facility. We're all for shared use and following actual posted rules, but this kind of gatekeeping is exactly what drives new players and younger participants away. It was a really disappointing and unwelcoming experience. They need to make it so these courts are reserved. Otherwise the other facilities are great! There is tennis courts, bocce ball , a splash pad, horseshoe pits and great walking paths.

Attended a birthday party there and it was fun! Easy to find parking in the private lot. Went…read moreinside and past the front desk to the event rooms.
