Carpenter Park — Attraction in Thornton

The park was great. It was busy, but I did go on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. The one issue I ran into was that there was almost too much to do. My 3 year old wanted to go everywhere which would have been fine if I didn’t have my 11 month old with me. She can’t walk yet so it was a bit of a pain to have to carry her everywhere following him around. Next time I’ll have to go with someone else, or have her stay at home or I’ll have to wait until she can walk. I don’t want her crawling all over, but this is the problem I always have going to a park by myself with these 2 ages. This park was just more difficult because there was so much more to do and it was so crowded. Maybe if I try going on a weekday, that may help too. The carousel was fun and seemed longer then most carousel. The fee wasn’t bad, $1 per person and 1 years and younger free. I did have to pay for myself even though I was...

Such a beautiful place. Lush green fields&hills fun little splash fountain area. The playground had a few different structures on it, that had quite a bit for the kids to play. A decent amount of shady spots, despite how busy it was it did not feel crowded at all. They have many beautiful trails as well as carousel and peaceful paddle boats. It was more affordable than any of us would have thought. You can do a double package with the carousel and the boats. My family of five ( 3 kids 2 adults) sat perfectly in their biggest paddle boat of 4-PPL. We got to paddle around the sweet area under a bridge (careful of the fishing lines coming over from up top of your in time for fishing season 😂) 30 minutes was enough time for us to truly enjoy or self and get enough of a water fix 😁 Anywho, the place was amazing and they had so much more to offer that we can't wait to explore...

This place has been yet the most amazing place I have ever been on a 4th of July!!! The excitement of all the food stands, the amazing people that I was able to encounter there, was able to continue to give me hope for us as Humans...there are days in many rows sometimes that give me lots of concern for who we are as people, the way we treat Earth-(the source of sustainable food, and shelter), One Another-(what happened to treat others like you would like to be treated), my list could go on for hours...however, this evening of beautiful fireworks, children, long in-love elders, and pure souls...Rich foods, some with sugar, some with salt...then many others with- sweet, salty, chocolaty, fruity, oozing and goozing all together foods, that gave the rest of the night the sweet summer remembrance for stories to tell, and ideas for dreams many...
