Tuckahoe Creek Corridor

  • The Tuckahoe Creek boardwalk system provides pedestrian access to the Tuckahoe Creek flood plain for walking, fishing, and enjoying nature.
  • Henrico County owns 240 acres of floodplain along Tuckahoe Creek. This land is comprised of several non-contiguous parcels that stretch from just south of Broad Street to just south of Patterson Avenue.
  • Henrico County voters approved $5,000,000 in capital funding for development of the entire Tuckahoe Creek Park system in November 2016.
  • This bond referendum funding was appropriated in July of 2021 and is being used to expand the initial phases into a community-level passive park resource with designated parking and better access from multiple communities within nearby neighborhoods.

 Phase III

  • The next phase in the planning process is to complete a full master plan depicting the most practical land-use options for the entire 240-acres of land along Tuckahoe Creek.  This land is comprised of several non-contiguous parcels that stretch across Three Chopt and Tuckahoe Magisterial Districts, from just south of Broad Street to just below Patterson Avenue
  • The county is actively working to acquire missing segments of land to provide continuous access across this entire section of Tuckahoe Creek.
  • A community master plan process to discuss plans for the entire corridor will begin this summer and will include community input through meetings facilitated by the Division of Recreation and Parks.
  • Future construction will occur in multiple phases.
