It’s game on at Pouncey Tract Park: Henrico unveils 12 new pickleball courts

An eager crowd gathered at Pouncey Tract Park on Saturday as Henrico County officials unveiled an addition to the recreation scene: 12 new pickleball courts, representing a growing passion in central Virginia for the sport. The event featured a ceremonial "first serve," celebrating the completion of the $4.4 million project, which was approved by the Board of Supervisors in August 2023. “For me, most important is the spirit of community that will continue to be embodied on these courts as young people continue to come play here or learn the sport,” Three Chopt Supervisor Misty D. Roundtree said. She added, “This is truly a sport where we see families playing together, and I love that.” The new complex has 10 standard courts and two championship courts, with all courts illuminated for evening play. The standard courts measure 34 by 64 feet, while the championship courts are larger, measuring 44 by 74 feet.

Henrico accepts operational control of Cobbs Creek Reservoir

Facility formally named in honor of retired County Manager Virgil Hazelett


Henrico has accepted responsibility for the operations of Cobbs Creek Reservoir, following a declaration Friday that construction has reached “substantial completion,” a key milestone in a 22-year project to secure the county’s long-term water needs.


The Board of Supervisors celebrated the achievement and announced the facility’s formal name – the Virgil R. Hazelett Reservoir at Cobbs Creek – in a gathering this afternoon atop the facility’s 160-foot main dam, near the James River in Cumberland County.


With its name, the 1,117-acre reservoir honors Virgil R. Hazelett, who served as Henrico’s county manager from 1992 to 2013 and guided the project during its conception and initial planning. The reservoir was first proposed in 2002, during a record drought in Virginia.
