Plans for Greenbriar Park — the former location of Wellington’s tree farm — include four multi-use fields, a concession area, restrooms and storm-water retention areas. The dog park and sand volleyball court will remain. Wellington’s travel and club lacrosse leagues say there aren’t enough playing fields.
