The Park at River City Sportsplex is designed to bring people together. From its Great Blue Heron playground and splash pad to trails, fitness areas and inclusive play spaces, the park creates opportunities for recreation, exploration and connection across generations.
A Park Designed for Many Ways to Play
Successful public spaces offer more than one experience. At River City Sportsplex, children can explore the iconic playground and splash pad, athletes and families can recharge between activities, and visitors can move through walking trails and fitness areas.
Inclusive design expands who can participate and how long people can comfortably enjoy the site. The result is a destination that serves residents, teams and visitors with different ages, interests and abilities.
Landscape Construction as Public Infrastructure
Landscaping in a civic park is not simply decoration. Planting, grading, drainage, circulation and gathering areas help shape how people navigate and use the property. Trees will provide increasing shade as they mature, while durable materials and carefully organized spaces support heavy public use.
Because parks are living systems, thoughtful installation sets the stage for how they will establish and perform over time.
A Collaborative Chesterfield County Project
James River Nurseries was proud to work with Trent Corporation, Chesterfield County Parks and Recreation, Timmons Group, Kompan Playground Equipment and many other talented teams to help bring the park to life.
Community projects require close coordination among owners, designers, contractors, suppliers and specialty partners. We congratulate everyone involved in creating an asset that families and visitors can enjoy for years to come.
