Parks and Trails
The City of Renton Parks Division maintains 28 developed public parks, 12.5 miles of trails, 732 acres of public open space, an 18-hole public golf course, two lake-front beaches and a public boat launch. Over the past few years, significant investments have been made in the park system in Renton; the Piazza, Heritage Park, a skateboard facility, and the Veterans' Memorial Park have been completed. Additionally, the Cedar River Trail extends east to the city limits (and beyond to the City of Maple Valley) and connects to the Cedar River Boathouse on Lake Washington.
For a list of parks and their amenities and locations, visit the Master Park Directory. When using the parks, please be aware of and abide by the Park Rules and Regulations. To find out more information about how parks are maintained, please visit "Integrated Pest Management Program".

Improvements to Burnett Linear Park, between S. 6th Street and S. 7th Street on Burnett Avenue S. (south of downtown Renton), will commence in April 2008 as part of the Burnett Park Phase II Capital Improvement Project. Improvements include a widened and relocated walkway, a new seating area with relocated artwork, entry signage, and new irrigation and landscaping. Part of this work will be the removal of six large London Plane trees, three pear trees, and one Ponderosa Pine. The 30-year-old London Plane trees were planted too closely together and too close to the walkway, causing the existing walkway to heave. The remaining trees to be removed would interfere with a relocated and widened walkway. Five new trees will be planted in more appropriate large, open areas. The estimated construction timeframe is mid-April through mid-July, 2008. Grandview Park Off-Leash Dog Area
Through the cooperative efforts of King County, Serve Our Dog Area (SODA) and the cities of SeaTac, Auburn, Burien, Des Moines, Federal Way, Kent, Renton, and Tukwila, the first regional south King County off-leash area was opened for public use in October 2003. For more information, visit www.ci.seatac.wa.us/park/grandview.htm. In addition, the City of Renton has recently formed a Task Force for an Off-Leash Dog Park. The Task Force will review planning strategies and possible off-leash areas in Renton, and make a recommendation to the Park Commissioners and City Council in 2008.
