Welcome to the Northeast Renton Park Master Plan Project, an initiative led by Renton Parks and Recreation to bring a new neighborhood park to the north end of the East Plateau neighborhood. Situated on approximately 18.5 acres of land, this park will address a critical need in the neighborhood.
Nestled between the May Creek Greenway to the north, Duvall Avenue to the southwest, and developed and undeveloped residential neighborhoods to the south and east, the proposed park site presents a unique blend of landscapes—forests, wetlands and streams, steep slopes, previously developed parcels. While this diversity may pose planning challenges, it also offers distinctive opportunities for recreation, relaxation, and a profound connection with nature.
Our main objective is to create a comprehensive master plan defining the vision, goals, and priorities for this new neighborhood park. Balancing natural landscapes with carefully selected features, we envision a park that caters to a spectrum of passive and active recreational activities, including:
Play areas and sport courts
Trails and trailheads
Gathering spaces
Access to nature
Community involvement is an important part of our park planning process!
This is your opportunity to help shape a new park to meet the current and future needs of the East Plateau neighborhood. During the park planning process, we want to hear what's important to you. A park that becomes a source of pride and joy for generations to come—a testament to the collaborative spirit and shared vision of our vibrant community.
Join us in this exciting endeavor!

This is an incredibly exciting project! We live closer to Jay Berrys and there are hardly any sidewalks or good biking trails. Quality parks are needed in this community. Selfishly, I would love to see pickleball courts. However, I know wildlife continues to be pushed out as humans develop more. In an ideal world, it would be great to have the majority of this area used for nature trails, preserve the surrounding environment for plants and animals, eradicate invasive plants like blackberries, and maybe squeeze some pickleball courts in closer to the road where human impact already exists. I would be open to volunteer opportunities to help. I am hesitant about allowing dogs due to their potential impact on wildlife, and irresponsible owners who may not clean up after them.

What is your plan to protect the wildlife that currently frequents those properties? Their current habitat has already been shrunk significantly by housing projects.

Wonderful to hear about this park!! We are right across Duvall Ave., but don’t have a sidewalk on our side of the Duvall Ave bend to get safely to the new crosswalk for the park, please add one!!
Also +1 to off leash dog park!

May Creek is an important wildlife corridor. Please save as much of the trees/vegetation as possible. A viewpoint would be nice, so we can see May Creek down below.

Dedicated pickleball courts would be amazing to have and an efficient use of space since you can fit 4 in the same space as 1 tennis court. Nearby Lake Boren Park has blended courts that are poor for pickleball because the net is a different height for tennis and the courts have faint red lines for pickleball on a green surface that are difficult to see even for non-colorblind people.
An area of the park sectioned off for an off-leash dog area would also be welcome.

Pickleball courts would be so appreciated. Please consider putting in several courts as there is a shortage in the Renton highlands.

It would be great if there was an off leash dog park included. The nearest one is downtown (I only went once because it was dismal) and the nearest good dog park is on Mercer Island. In contrast, the nearest park with a play area and sport courts is at Lske Boren, a couple miles down the road.

I would love to see New PICKLEBALL COURTS on this community with Renton have very few areas to play I think it would really build the community and help develop strong relationships. Also a revamped playground with fun for kids. My family is walking distance to this park and would to see it be followed through!

Connecting to the Terrace and Highland trains will be a fantastic feature!
