On the sunny, but windy morning of December 13th 2025, the new Windy Hill Park opened to the public with the cutting of a red ribbon. Mayor Nelson Andrews, with members of the city park board, and the Sensing family were present at the induction ceremony. A white tent was set up to fight against the windy weather befitting the name of the park. The park opened for its first season, and the public was welcomed to join the celebration.
“There was a fantastic turnout. There were over 100 people there,” said Vicki Sanford, Chair of the Park Board.
Placed on a 52-acre plot of land along Old Smyrna Road, this passive park has all the features the Brentwood community can enjoy. The park includes walking trails, playgrounds, greenways with a 400-meter loop track, picnic shelters, bike trails, open fields, bathrooms, plenty of parking, and a rich history, serving over 1,900 homes in north Brentwood.
Windy Hill Park used to be Windy Hill Farm, owned by the Sensing Family. The farm was bought in the ‘70s by the Sensings. The land was used as a runway for the father, Wilbur, who was a recreational pilot. The original hangar for the plane is still on the property.
The Leadership Brentwood Committee, which often participates in community projects, commissioned the painting of a mural on the side of the hangar. The mural depicts a replica of Wilbur’s plane paying tribute to the family’s history and legacy.
Before the Sensing family owned the farm, it was a historical property dating back to the early 1800s, used for agriculture.
Windy Hill Park will be a part of the collection of gorgeous parks Brentwood has to offer. Its completion marks the 15th park in this city. Residents can stop by anytime to enjoy the property and amenities. Whether you are a runner, stroller, picnicker, or playing on the playground, everyone, from residents to visitors, young and old, is encouraged to visit.
“Green space is important for every community. Windy Hill touches several neighborhoods and will serve the northeast corner of Brentwood,” said Sanford.
“The park is beautiful and very scenic with rural character,” said Charles Booth, Director of Community Relations for Brentwood. It has a rural charm. It’s an asset to our town.
The park is open every day of the week from sunup to sunset. Conveniently placed in one of Brentwood’s affluent neighborhoods, the address is 9133 Old Smyrna Road. Check it out today.
