Construction Nears Completion at Greenbriar Local Park Following May 2024 Fire
Construction at Greenbriar Local Park in Potomac is now nearing completion, roughly a year and a half after a fire caused an estimated $1 million in damage and forced the closure of the park’s large playground. The rebuilt playground structure appears nearly finished, though the walkway leading to it remains fenced off as work continues.
Construction is scheduled to begin in December on a major upgrade of the trail system at Blohm Park in Gaithersburg.
