Briarwood Park — Attraction in Brookhaven

This is such a hidden gem. It has two large playgrounds for younger and older kids though I saw a great mix of young and old playing on both. They have a third wooden playground geared for older kids (ages 7+). I climbed up it myself and it’s pretty cool and obviously much too difficult for my 5yo.
