Exciting progress is underway at the Environmental Education Center at Saluda Shoals Park! Phase One of the renovations continues to move forward, and the new outdoor deck has been rebuilt and is really taking shape. This project is made possible through a partnership between the Irmo Chapin Recreation Commission and the Saluda Shoals Foundation to renew and expand this important community facility. The renovations include an expanded outdoor deck for programs and gatherings, as well as new ADA-accessible restrooms to improve comfort and accessibility for all visitors. We’re excited to see this progress and look forward to welcoming visitors to an improved, more inclusive Center for generations to come.
