I am looking forward to spending time in this new park in Brentwood!

The City of Brentwood is set to open its 15th park this December, giving residents another space to enjoy scenic views, walking trails, and a children’s playground.

“We are excited because Dec. 13 is the grand opening and ribbon cutting for Windy Hill Park, and that will be a wonderful event,” City Commissioner Kim Gawrys said during a recent commission meeting. “Hopefully the weather will cooperate.”

The short ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. that Saturday at the park’s front entrance, located at 9133 Old Smyrna Road. The 52-acre passive park, originally conceived as part of the Brentwood 2030 Plan, will serve more than 1,900 homes and residents in the northern section of the city.

The land was previously part of Wilbur and Lucy Sensing’s Windy Hill Farm. Wilbur used this flat field as a runway for his single-engine airplane. In 2020, the Sensings sold this portion of their farm to Brentwood for the creation of the new city park.

The couple released a statement at the time, saying, “We have enjoyed the pastoral beauty of Windy Hill for the past 45 years and now are thankful it will be preserved for all to enjoy.”

The city is making sure the land’s aviation history will live on with an airplane-themed playground and a mural depicting one of Sensing’s former planes. The mural, part of a recent Leadership Brentwood project, will be painted by artist Eric “Mobe” Bass on a building that once served as Wilbur’s airplane hangar.

In addition to the mural and the playground, the park will feature a trail connected to Brentwood’s greenways, a 400-meter loop track, workout stations, picnic shelters, restrooms, and parking at the north and south entrances.

Helpful information in this heat!

Useful tip from Tyrrell Auto Centers, Most all vehicles have a recirculation button with the AC controls in their cars. But many of us are unsure when to use it.

Well, the easy answer is to use it in the summer and turn it off in the winter.

The recirculation button simply takes the air from inside the car and recirculates it in the cabin instead of pulling fresh air from outside. On days like today when it is miserably hot outside, if you do not recirculate the cooler air in the cabin, than your AC system is pulling hot air from outside and trying to cool it. Using the recirculation feature will get your car cooler and will decrease the wear and tear on your AC system.
- Side note, if your car has been baking in the sun, its better to roll the windows down and turn recirculate off for the first minute or so to get rid of the super hot air inside the car before turning the recirculate on.

Also, any time you are stuck in traffic ( summer or winter) be sure to use the recirculate. If you are pulling air from outside, then you are pulling in all the pollutants and carbon monoxide from all the traffic. Studies show that recirculating your AC can cut down on the pollutants entering your vehicle by 20% when stuck in traffic!
