If you live anywhere near Thornton, or even if you don’t, you have got to check out Amber Creek Park! It was recommended to me by a friend that lives in that area and she wasn’t kidding when she said it was amazing!
Address: 6745 E 134th Ave, Thornton, CO 80602
Recommended Ages: All kids will enjoy this park! There is a more traditional play structure with slides, a disc swing, baby swings and spinners for the little ones. My older kids went straight for the dual zipline and rock climbing!
Unique Features: The side by side ziplines were definitely our favorite part. The girls raced each other, tried sitting and standing, and the whole experience brought so much laughter! Here are a few of our favorite zipline moments…
Another unique feature was this amazing curved rock wall! Typically, if there is a rock wall, it is usually just another ladder option or it is like climbing a giant boulder…this was so much better! There were even hand holds underneath for added difficulty.
Have you heard of an OmniSpinner? This is a seated merry-go-round that was made with transfer points for easy access with wheelchairs or walkers. Such an improvement over the traditional merry-go-round where kids fly off the sides! Or is that just what happens with my kids…?
Things to Know: There is a portable bathroom, large shaded shelter and basketball court. We were there for over an hour and, if I had packed more snacks, we would’ve stayed even longer! It is a playground they’ll be entertained by and scenery that you’ll want to soak up. Truly a great Colorado playground!
We can’t wait to hear that you’ve visited this park! Which would be your favorite – the ziplines or rock wall?

This looks amazing! I want to try the zip line!
Thanks for visiting our page! The zip line was so much fun!
This is a great park. Just enough features to keep the kids (6, 8 and 10) interested. Ziplines are a huge plus. There is sidewalk that makes a large circle around the park, so it's great for bikes, scooters, hoverboards and still being able to keep an eye on all kiddos.
