Walking beneath the Brentwood trees
Dannelly Park, located next to Dannelly Elementary School, hosts youth softball and baseball games. The park also has basketball courts and a playground where children can play. For a more expansive green space, many Brentwood residents head 2 miles north of the neighborhood to Vaughn Road Park, which features grassy play spaces, tennis courts, a playground and around 1 mile of walking trails. Despite the lack of green space directly in Brentwood, residents still manage to enjoy the outdoors. “There aren’t really many parks inside Brentwood, but there are a lot of sidewalks,” says Realtor Ryan Beesley with Re/Max Tri-Star, who’s sold homes in the area for 20 years. “People go for walks or ride their bikes around. It’s a very pedestrian-friendly neighborhood.”

Montgomery on the stage of history
Montgomery is a city that is intensely tied to dark and bright chapters of American history. The city served as the birthplace of the Confederacy in February of 1861, launching the country into the Civil War. Almost 100 years later, Montgomery became the birthplace of the Civil Rights movement when Rosa Parks was arrested in December of 1955, sparking boycotts and Freedom Rides in support. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s former parsonage is now the site of a museum on South Jackson Street, and both the First White House of the Confederacy and the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church are within sight of the State Capitol. The result is a fitting display of the duality of American history, one that remembers both the tragic and the heroic moments of the past to strive for a more perfect future.
Experience the profound legacy of the Civil Rights movement by visiting the iconic bus stop where Rosa L. Parks made her courageous stand near Brentwood, Alabama. It's a place that embodies the spirit of change and inspires us all to reflect on the importance of equality and justice.
The Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts provides a creative outlet for Brentwood residents.
