A few weeks ago the day we've been waiting for finally arrived! We've been talking about this planned park that's just behind the Thornton Rec Center loaded with a sweet playground, outdoor ampitheater, splash pad, lake with paddle boats, and even a carousel! It was everything we were hoping for! The girls absolutely loved it and are excited to spend lots of time this summer there (I'm sure with a whole lot of other people).
Although we've really enjoyed living in Thornton, seeing a playground built like this always solidifies your decision to uproot and move. The fact that recreation is an important part of the community is essential. It's amazing to see all the families take advantage of this wonderful park.
Never seen a slide like this before!
Even Addy was trying to climb!
There's a lot we like to consider when picking a place to live (especially with kids). It seemed as if checking out schools was our #1 priority, so the recreation part fell to the wayside. Luckily we were pleasantly surprised with a close neighborhood park, a pool within walking distance, and a top-notch rec program. More importantly we moved to a community that values those things, so we're looking forward for more good things to come (hopefully a state-of-the-art rec center update).
