Thorpe Park

Cute family park and a few hills for sledding! wasn’t packed but a good go to for fun in the snow!

Great park! Bbq, tennis, playground equipment and ample room to run. Lits of picnic areas, perfect for large family occassions. There are bathrooms but I would go before I got there… just say’in. Great place in beautiful country.

Nicely maintained park in the northwest side of town. Basketball courts, tennis courts, and a pavilion for picnicking—
There are a number of play structures for kids of all ages and plenty of room to run around.
Definitely a good place to take the kids for some outdoor fun.

We went to Thorpe Park in January after the snowstorm to ride the sleds.
It’s a great place for kids (and adults) to ride the sleds!
Watch out for stumps and rocks, we broke a couple of our less-​expensive snow discs here.
On-​site porta-​potties are labeled «First Class»… of course, they’re not!
If you need to go, drive uphill to the Lowell Observatory for a decent pit stop.

Great place for my 3 year old… he loves it and rightfully so.

We used to, emphasize used to, come to the bark park often as it is the only chance I have to socialize my dog and let her run with other dogs. I just got home from the vet about 20 minutes ago and she has kennel cough… highly contagious and the vet said specifically she caught it at the park.
The park was once a great place, but in the last year everything has gone downhill. Dog owners who frequent are atrocious. I don’t know how many times I have watched as oblivious and uncaring owners do not pick up after their dogs. The park is now filthy, absolutely filthy. Bad owners either do not care about behaviors or treat their dogs like they would temper tantrum children in the grocery store…“stop” «don’t do that» «don’t make me count to three» nonsense. It’s utterly ridiculous.
I am very sad to see this happen with the park and I would try harder to accept bad behaving owners, many times I pick up other dogs droppings while we are there and I really don’t mind, but coming home with a sick dog now because of owners who are inconsiderate, do not take care of their animals enough to know they are sick, or just plain stupid about putting other dogs in jeopardy is the last straw.

Had a great day at Thorpe park with my husband and our golden retriever. There is a lot to do and we really enjoyed the hiking trails. Very well maintained park and trails. The park is away from traffic and the smell of pine is terrific. Definitely recommend if you are an outdoor enthusiast.

Excellent small town park sandwiched between a quiet downtown neighborhood and Mars hill, the wooded location of Lowell Observatory.
lot’s of facilities spread around: tennis courts, separate play areas for tiny, toddler and bigger kids, bbqs. Even has baseball diamonds, a dog park and disc golf nearby.

Beautiful. I got to swing like a kid, slide down a slide and walk with my bare feet in some luscious grass. Could not be happier.

Awesome fields, dog run and huge beautiful pine trees.

Thorpe Park has something for everyone. Thorpe Park’s Disk golf Course is my favorite in Arizona, thus far. I really enjoy playing through the woods! The Bark Park is divided into an large area for all dogs, and a smaller fenced off section for small breeds or puppies to play, if feeling intimidated. With only one exception over the years, I have only encountered well behaved dogs and owners. It is a great place to socialize your dog (s)! There is a pretty neat playground for kids, and team sports are constantly being played. Parking is sometimes difficult, but oh, so worth it!
Thorpe Park has 4 lighted adult softball fields, 3 youth baseball fields, 2 playgrounds, a sand volleyball court, a basketball court, 2 soccer fields, 4 lighted tennis courts + 2 tennis courts, a picnic ramada, 2 racquetball courts, 2 horseshoe courts, a disc golf course, a dog park and both portable and permanent restrooms all on 219 acres. Nice!
