HENRICO COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) -- The Three Lakes Park & Nature Center has officially reopened in Henrico as of Thursday morning.
Henrico County, along with its Division of Recreation & Parks, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 11 at the nature center located at 400 Sausiluta Drive.
According to the county, updates to the facility include new and enhanced interactive play features, accessibility improvements, an outdoor education space and living exhibits for snakes, frogs, spiders, an eel and other wildlife.
This project is the first major upgrade made to the Three Lakes Park since the 1990s, and is estimated to have cost around $4.6 million, the county said.
