Brookshire Park

Park Overview

Located in Thornton, Colorado, Brookshire Park (also known as Woodglen-Brookshire Park) spreads across a generous 13.6 acres of green space. This community location offers something for just about everyone, whether you're looking to break a sweat or simply enjoy some fresh air.

The park features plenty of open, grassy areas excellent for throwing down a blanket and enjoying a lazy afternoon picnic or tossing a frisbee around with friends. Just a heads-up: while your four-legged friends are welcome on-leash, there isn't a designated dog park or fenced area for them to run free.

Walking Trails

Feeling like stretching your legs? The park's network of walking paths meanders within the grounds, connecting all the different areas while providing a pleasant route for your morning walk or evening jog.

What's particularly convenient is how the park connects to the broader City trail system via a bike trail. This means you can easily extend your journey beyond the park boundaries if you're in the mood for a longer adventure.

Sports Facilities

The sports options here are definitely a highlight. Basketball players can choose between full-court and half-court setups depending on how serious your game is. Tennis courts stand ready for those looking to practice their serve, while the sand volleyball courts offer a beach-like experience (though you'll need to bring your own net).

There's also a spacious multipurpose field that's fantastic for impromptu soccer matches, ultimate frisbee games, or just letting the kids run wild and burn off some energy.

Family Amenities

If you have little ones in tow, the playground area provides a safe space for climbing, sliding, and making new friends. It's well-designed to keep kids entertained while you relax nearby.

Planning a family gathering or birthday celebration? The park's 40' x 40' lighted pavilion comes equipped with picnic tables and offers welcome shade on hot summer days. The lighting means your gatherings can extend into the evening hours, making it well-suited for those long summer get-togethers.

Visitor Information

No need to worry about finding a spot for your car - the park offers 137 parking spaces, making it easy to visit even during busy weekend afternoons.
