After a year of COVID-related delays, Stevens Creek Nature Center is officially open to the public! We introduced you to the water-focused nature center when it was originally scheduled to open in October 2020.
The nature-centric educational facility is built on 275 acres off Thompson Road in Mint Hill that includes the Stevens Creek watershed. The adjoining nature preserve will protect the native habitat that was once — and might once again be — home to the rare Carolina Heelsplitter Mussel.
Board of Directors Vice President Brad Chambers attended the long-awaited ribbon-cutting on behalf of Partners for Parks. Enjoy the photos he took of the celebration!
