Whether you live here or just visiting, we invite you to take advantage of the services we provide.

Although we have only been a department for a short time, I am very proud of our facilities and the dedicated staff that provide you with a wealth of activities. We continue to work hard and strive to give our patrons the best we have to offer, and we expect the improvements throughout our parks to continue in 2015.

Enjoy playing in Brookhaven. Feel free to contact our staff with your thoughts, comments, ideas, or suggestions.
