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.

I'm concerned with the access to the park, along with pedestrian safety. That curve on Coal Creek Parkway that the park is proposed to sit adjacent to is a known danger zone, where speeds routinely exceed 45-50 mph, and accidents are common. By what method are pedestrians to safely cross Coal Creek Pkwy to access the trail connection on the west side of the road?

great space to build a park and allow the public to access a green space area. My hope is that it is a park that reflects and retains the natural space while also providing the aspects of a park where people can gather and play in nature.

Hi! Please leave park bathrooms open year round! Child and senior residents need them. It was a challenge with them closed 2023-2024. Revise your toileting plan! It's tacky at best to close them. They are an essential service.

Provide trail access from the south or east for people and kids in Summerwind and Newcastle terrace.

The radio control hobby has grown immensely. My son and I have gotten involved with this fun past time in the rock crawling part of it, but it has been difficult to find courses. We live very close to where this park will be developed and would love for it to include a 1/10th scale rc crawler course with varying terrain, bridges, ramps, off camber obstacles and the like. The closest course I know of is at Remote Control Hobbies in Covington. Please consider this as part of the development. My son and I would greatly appreciate it. Renton citizen since 1996.

Hello,
Me and several friends would love to see that or part of that be a disc golf course. It’s so much fun and afterward we usually go out somewhere to eat. I hope you would consider making it a disc golf course because I know there would be a lot of people that would use it and enjoy it.
Thank you,
Maxine Nagel

Lighted pickleball courts in this neighborhood park?
I do not think so.
Play area for kids? YES
Sheltered picnic area? YES.
Soft trails? YES.
Pickleball? NO!

It's a semi-rural area; part of the May creek Greenway; home to loads of wildlife.
Which means subdued & minimal lighting.

I feel it would be a great place for a disc golf course. It’s a fun sport that will bring a lot of people to this area to play and to visit local restaurants and stores. It will also help keep people who live here playing here and not having to travel 15 plus miles to spend money in other areas. Renton deserves the economical boost from this park. Being a resident who lives in the near the park site. I would love to see a place for our community members to congregate and play and have fun.

1. Would love to see dedicated pickleball courts with lights for the evening time. The demand is very, very high and the number of public courts in Renton is few.
2. An off leash dog park is a much needed space that Renton also doesn't have very many of.
3. Walking trails through shaded forest areas to connect with nature.

The PB courts and dog park can be further away from housing and the creek, closer to the road.

Please add a dog park, pickleball, and basketball.

The idea of open spaces are needed but worry about tax dollars being spent on outlay and upkeep. Where is funding coming from?

Connected Neighbor 2 months ago

The city of Renton needs to put in turf sports fields with lights.

I think a new park is a nice idea. Parks are important. But what about finishing the sidewalk refresh project in Maplewood Glen? Our driveway entrances are sunken and get flooded everytime it rains. But 2 doors down is fresh, new, non -flooding.

Would love to see a dedicated pickleball area with additional courts. big community out here!

Lit up tennis courts please! Coulon Park and Liberty Park fill up so quickly on nice days.

Please do not allow access to May Creek. Foot traffic would disrupt both the residents and wildlife. Also, there were numerous bear sightings last year. Have you considered the potential encounters between wildlife and people/dogs if you add trails?
