Greenbriar Park is a 49-acre strip of city parkland running east to west across south Fort Worth, from Hemphill Street toward James Avenue. It takes its name from the Greenbriar Addition, a 250-acre postwar subdivision that Worth Builders began developing in 1951 for veterans using FHA and VA financing; the park itself came about twenty years later, dedicated in 1973. Improvements have come in waves — playground work in 2004 paid for with federal Urban Park and Recreation Recovery and Texas Parks and Wildlife grant money, then a group pavilion, picnic tables, walkways, a multi-use court and grading for two soccer fields in 2006. The city confirms the disc golf course on its Greenbriar Community Center page, where it sits alongside the park's stocked lake.
The 18 mapped holes follow the length of the park, roughly six tenths of a mile end to end. It is mostly open mowed ground with a tree line along the northern edge and scattered clumps in between, so wind is more of a factor than tight gaps, and USGS puts about 47 feet of elevation change across the course — noticeably more grade than the flat Trinity bottomland layouts on the other side of town. The lake at the east end comes into play near the finish and is stocked with trout in winter and catfish in the warmer months. Fort Worth doesn't publish a par or a total length for the course, so both are left blank here rather than guessed. The park is free and public and open 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily; the city currently lists a dam assessment among its construction updates for the site.
