Carpenter Park is a public tennis establishment situated at 3498 E 112th Ave, Thornton, CO 80233 and is open to the public daily from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Like many other towns and villages, Thornton is adored by tourists for its tranquil parks.
The grand opening of Carpenter Park Saturday marked the completion of decades-long plans for the 150-acre site at Colorado Boulevard and 112th Avenue. Park improvements were funded through Thornton’s park and open space tax revenues along with two Adams County Open Space Grant awards and a Great Outdoors Colorado Local Government Grant award.
The new amenities include an amphitheater, which can seat between 300-500; an 18,000-square-foot playground and splash pad; a boathouse for the new paddleboats; concession and bathroom facilities; shade shelters, and the indoor carousel the city acquired from the biggs store that used to be at Thornton Town Center.
With play structures designed for kids of all ages, Carpenter Park is a popular destination for outdoor fun. The park features an amphitheater, a carousel, a boathouse, a playground, a skate park & sports, slides, bridges, swings, and rocks to climb. For a fee, there is a carousel little ones can ride and a boathouse where you can rent paddle boats which costs varies based on boat size and residency.
