Greenbriar Community Center

Mission: "Just adjacent to Greenbriar Park, Greenbriar Community Center is the perfect place to have fun both indoors and outside! While there's ample opportunity to work out in the center's fitness room or participate in one (or more) of the center's many recreational programs - suited for any age! - it's in the great outdoors where Greenbriar really shines. Not only does the park boast a disc golf course, but the nearby lake is stocked with trout during the winter months and catfish during the spring and summer, providing entertainment for kayakers and anglers alike."
