An upgraded Briarlake Forest Park is now open, including a new large pavilion at 3330 Briarlake Road, Decatur.

A total of $544,733 was allocated to complete the park improvements, according to a DeKalb County statement.

Contributions were provided in part through Park Pride’s Community Building Grant that was supported by The Home Depot Foundation, Commissioner Jeff Rader, Commissioner Lorraine Cochran-Johnson, Friends of Briarlake Forest Park and the Parks Department to complete the pavilion.
