The Project

The Adams Parks South Maintenance Building is undergoing an expansion and renovation to accommodate the growing staff, including the addition of the District's Adams County Rangers. The existing main building is being renovated to increase capacity and circulation and to address structural issues. 

Located behind the main building, a new pre-engineered metal building will accommodate six double fleet maintenance bays, office and meeting space, and a fabrication and mechanical shop. The existing three-bay facility will be converted into storage for the abundance of supplies distributed and used to maintain the South Parks region.

The 39-acre site will transition from a well and septic system to City of Thornton public utilities. New landscaping along Riverdale Road and an expanded parking lot complement the infrastructure improvements taking place throughout the entire Riverdale area. Securing the yard increases crime prevention, and expanding the square footage provides a better working environment and the ability to support the City Emergency Service Department.
