Taylor Farm Park is a sprawling 99-acre green space outside of Richmond, Virginia. Once a family-owned farm dating back to 1858, the land was acquired in part of a 2016 Henrico County bond referendum. Today, the park will help families harvest new memories and immerse themselves in multiple natural elements on the nature-based playground.Taylor Farm Park received national recognition with the National Recreation and Park Association's (NRPA) "2025 Innovation in Park Design Award." Seeing nearly 1 million visitors in its first year of operations, the park is honored for improving its community by embracing innovative technology, strategies or programs. By cultivating nature as the primary theme through each section of the park, this award-winning concept is realized in the playground through custom Robinia towers, a rope bridge for traversing flowing waters, and a custom COROCORD net integrated into the area's existing trees.“We worked with KOMPAN from the earliest planning meetings, and that allowed us to shape the land, the water features and the play equipment into a dynamic, unique destination playground. Taylor Farm Park is our largest play equipment installation, and by far, Henrico County’s most talked about park.”Al Azzarone, ASLA - Park Planner, Henrico Recreation and ParksThe custom Robinia towers blend seamlessly into the wooded landscape. A rope bridge connects the structures and allows children to traverse over a stream flowing throughout the playspace. A sweeping custom COROCORD net was designed to wrap around existing trees and offer exciting rope play. Multiple Ziplines and a Cocowave Pendulum Swing continue thrills for kids both young and old! For the littlest ones, a “Tot Tree” provides age-appropriate fun for children ages 2-5. Play is made inclusive with a Universal Carousel, an accessible ramp connecting to an ADA Tree tower, and pour-in-place surfacing.As a participating agency of OMNIA Partners, Henrico County leveraged a competitively solicited contract that was awarded by a lead public agency to satisfy their compliancy needs and streamline the purchasing process. Through the long-standing and strategic partnership with KOMPAN and Henrico County, OMNIA Partners was also able to provide invaluable support and transparency throughout the project.
