New amenities are coming to Dunwoody’s largest park as part of a $7.6 million overhaul this year.

The City Council appproved the Brook Run Park construction project at its December meeting, and the work is scheduled to begin in March. Among the changes to come at the 110-acre facility:

  • A great lawn with a bandshell and amphitheater for outdoor performances;
  • Two new multi-sports fields with a concession stand;
  • A nine-hole disc golf course;
  • An added entrance to the park from Barclay Drive;
  • A new covered picnic pavilion, restrooms and additional parking.

Brook Run Park will remain open throughout the renovations, although there could be temporary closures of features like the Dog Park and Brook Run Trail. Events like Lemonade Days in April will still be held at the park but may be relocated to different areas.
