Playground by Aquatic Complex

When

Aug. 20, 2025. 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Get your feet wet and explore life in the creek. Using the creek as a laboratory, we will search under rocks for aquatic life and discover how these critters can help us determine the health of the stream. We will have a short hike to the creek, so please wear comfortable closed-toe shoes. This program is conducted in accordance with Virginia Law; park staff possess the proper permits and training to collect and briefly handle certain aquatic wildlife.

Please call (804) 796-4472 or email Rebecca.Whalen@dcr.virginia.gov for more information.
