Chickahominy Riverfront Park

Park Improvements - January 2020


Scope of Work

The Chickahominy Riverfront Park Improvements will provide improved infrastructure to the County’s park located on John Tyler Highway (Route 5) and fronting the Chickahominy River and Gordon’s Creek. Park infrastructure upgrades include realignment, repairs and additions to the existing roads on-site. Utility upgrades will focus on water and sanitary sewer, and a new pool pump house. Water system upgrades will focus on the domestic well facility and distribution piping to meet current regulations and future water demands. Additional work includes the demolition of the small pool due to ongoing leaking and continued noncompliance issues with DEQ for groundwater removal limits and installation of a small splash pad in the area of the former pool site.
