Facility Details

Jeffery Thornton Park is a passive-use park with a 1/3 mile concrete walking path circling the park. The park has an open grass area with one full-court basketball court and a playground with apparatus. The park was dedicated in memory of Jeffery Thornton, a high school student who was lost while snowboarding. He survived several days of exposure and was rescued only to lose his fight a few days later. It was his courageous fight to survive that brought the community together to remember him.
