The new Sports Complex at 136th and Holly in Thornton Colorado (approved by the city of Thornton in 2007) is under construction this summer.  I attended some of the city meetings for this complex and am happy to see them putting in both Soccer and Football fields.  At a later date it looks like additional parking lot landscaping, lighting, additional fields and possiby even a skate park are possible at this site.

Indirectly all citizens of Thornton will benefit from this project as the city becomes better known for balanced master planning and quality of life.  But the neighborhoods close by like Marshall Lake, Homestead Hills, Northbrook, etc. will find that it is a much easier commute to get your kids to soccer and football games now that local teams don't have to drive down to the fields at 112th.
