Greenbriar Park, Chestnut Hills Park and Rock Springs Park

Realtor Josh Bell with Keller Williams Commercial notes, “It’s a very active community, and the area lends itself to that. There’s a lot of energy.” Greenbriar Park spans 18 acres and serves as Yorktown High School’s athletic complex. During football season, fans pack the bleachers and cheer on the Patriots, while runners take to the surrounding track on the evenings and weekends. The park also includes a lighted basketball court, three lighted baseball diamonds, tennis courts and more. Greenbriar Park bleeds into Chestnut Hills Park, separated by a thin row of trees. This park spans just over 4 acres, with a green space and educational playground where kids can learn their letters, numbers, colors and shapes. Nearby Rock Spring Park offers a more scenic outdoor experience with paved and natural wooded walkways along a flowing stream.
