Updates 

  • Starting Monday, February 26, 2024, and lasting one year, access to Cedar River Dog Park at 1500 Houser Way S will be from Cedar River Park using the pedestrian bridge to cross the Cedar River.  WSDOT is storing materials under the I-405 bridge for its freeway-widening project.  For everyone’s safety, follow directions on posted signs and traffic flaggers.  More information is at I-405 Widening and Express Toll Lanes Project or email [email protected].

  • Springbrook Trail boardwalk is closed due to damage at the SW 27th St entrance.  Follow all posted signage until the structure is repaired and safe to pass.

  • Cedar River Trail narrows to one lane between the Cedar River Dog Park and Riverview Park. Bicyclists yield to pedestrians and USE EXTREME CAUTION in this area. Plans are in the works to repair trail.

Playground Safety

Since 2019, the city has replaced playgrounds at Cedar River Trail Park, Coulon Park, Liberty Park, Teasdale and Tiffany Parks. We also added a new playground and amenities at Sunset Neighborhood Park.

Over the next six years, more playground replacements are scheduled, including at Kiwanis Park and Kennydale Beach Park in 2022. All these projects are funded through the Capital Improvement Program.

New playgrounds incorporate age- and skill-appropriate equipment for children based on two age groups: 2-5 years and 5-12 years. Safety surfaces are one of two types, either Engineered Wood Fiber or poured-in-place rubberized surfacing. The selected surfacing depends on existing site conditions and budget. All Renton playgrounds have ADA-accessible components.

Typically, a playground will last 15 years. Play equipment selection, layout and installation, and safety surface selection are thoroughly reviewed. Each playground strictly meets the latest Consumer Product Safety Council (CPSC) and American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) certifications for playground safety conformance. Once installed, certified Parks Maintenance Workers routinely inspect playgrounds for continued compliance with CPSC standards.

TRACK Trail

You can still have fun in cooler weather when you bring your family and friends to the TRACK Trail at Cedar River Trail Park.  Find TRACK Trail brochures at the park kiosk or print them at home via kidsinparks.com to use on any hike, whether at the park or in your own neighborhood.  Earn prizes when you record your journey at the park online.

TRACK Trail is a free, self-guided hike and the first in Washington State, that uses educational brochures for children and families.
