Briarwood Park in Brookhaven took a beating on Sunday evening, June 25, when massive thunderstorms rolled through metro Atlanta.
The storm brought a large Poplar tree down onto power lines, creating an outage and a mess when the street light smashed into the parking lot. A downed tree blocked the entrance of the park. The swimming pool and community center were closed by Brookhaven Parks and Recreation Department.
Brookhaven has three community pools. A new pool and splash pad opened at Lynwood Park on June 21.
