One of the standout features of Brookhaven in Matthews, NC is the way its parks, pocket greens, and walking trails all connect. This thoughtful design makes it easy to enjoy the outdoors, whether you’re walking the trails, heading to the pool, or relaxing in a shaded park.
Pocket Parks & Playgrounds
Brookhaven’s pocket parks and playgrounds are scattered throughout the neighborhood, offering:
-
Benches shaded by mature trees
-
Play areas near the trails
-
Open lawns for casual recreation
Because these spaces are tucked right into the community, it’s simple to step outside and enjoy them.
Open Spaces for Recreation
Brookhaven also includes larger green areas used for:
-
Neighborhood events like pool parties and camping nights
-
Programs such as Soccer Shots for kids
-
Informal sports, bike riding, or yoga in the park
These open lawns give residents flexibility that’s harder to find in newer communities with limited common space.
Trails That Tie It All Together
The walking trails are the backbone of Brookhaven’s outdoor design, connecting:
-
Pocket parks and playgrounds
-
The clubhouse and pool
-
Tennis and basketball courts
-
Antioch Elementary School
Instead of being separate, Brookhaven’s amenities are linked by shaded paths—making daily life more walkable and connected.
Why It’s Different from Newer Communities
In many new-build neighborhoods, shared green space can be limited to a single small park. Brookhaven stands out with multiple parks, open lawns, and mature landscaping that’s already established. This gives the community a timeless, welcoming feel that newer neighborhoods often lack.
