Great public spaces do more than look beautiful. They bring people together, encourage exploration, and create places where communities can connect.
That's exactly what makes The Park at River City Sportsplex in Chesterfield County, Virginia, such a special addition to the community. James River Nurseries was proud to contribute to the landscape construction of this exciting public park, helping create an outdoor destination designed to be enjoyed for generations.








From the striking Great Blue Heron playground to the splash pad, walking trails, fitness areas, and inclusive play spaces, The Park at River City Sportsplex offers something for nearly everyone.
Whether it's families spending an afternoon together, children discovering a new favorite playground, or visitors enjoying time outdoors, the park was thoughtfully designed to accommodate a variety of ages, interests, and abilities.
It's the kind of community space that becomes more valuable with every passing season.
Behind every beautiful public space is a tremendous amount of planning, coordination, and careful construction.
For a project like The Park at River City Sportsplex, landscape construction plays an important role in bringing the entire environment together. Thoughtful planting, grading, drainage, and durable outdoor spaces all contribute to a park that is as functional as it is inviting.
And while the park is already welcoming visitors, its landscape will continue to evolve. As trees mature and plantings become established, the grounds will develop even more character, shade, and natural beauty.
That's one of our favorite things about landscape construction: the work we do today continues to grow and give back for years to come.
Projects of this scale are truly a team effort.
James River Nurseries was honored to work alongside Trent Corporation, Chesterfield County Parks and Recreation, Timmons Group, Kompan Playground Equipment, and many other talented professionals who helped bring this vision to life.
