Key strategies used through September 2025 included: Story Map with inventory and gap analysis findings, and a drop-pin map for comments Series of surveys, including a community survey, park quality survey, skatepark survey, and communitywide statistically valid survey Series of outreach events Engagement opportunities were advertised primarily via the Your Voice Renton website and social media posts. There were over 4,200 visits to the Your Voice Renton website between May and September 2025. Results Story Map / Drop Pin Map The City posted a story map on the project website (https://yourvoice.rentonwa.gov/pros). The story map included a module where participants could post comment pins at park and trail locations where they had comments. Date: March 27-September 4, 2025 Participants: 586 comments The interactive map tool allowed participants to place pins in locations where there are parks and trails and offer comments. Through an interactive map tool participants could drop pins with comments about: Park accessibility Condition of equipment, paths, and signage Condition of fields or courts Cleanliness Condition of landscaping Other See Exhibit 1 illustrating the map pins. Engagement Results – Spring and Summer 2025 | 3 Exhibit 1: Drop Pin Map Source: BERK, 2025. Findings and Takeaways: Participants often selected “park accessibility” as a specific comment theme except for “other.” See Exhibit 2. Engagement Results – Spring and Summer 2025 | 4 Exhibit 2: Park Quality Comment Pins – Comment Themes Comment Theme Count of Comments Other 286 Park accessibility 104 Condition of equipment, paths, and signage 71 Condition of fields or courts 62 Cleanliness 37 Condition of landscaping 26 Grand Total 586 Source: BERK, 2025. All open-ended comments were reviewed for common sentiments and a number of comments addressed improvement of parks and buildings, access to places and accessibility onsite, security and sense of safety (primarily regarding encampments and homeless, as well as physical safety at crossings). A number of comments highlighted where there are needs for improved trails, road cross sections for all modes, and others.

Exhibit 4: Top 10 Parks with Comments Park Comment Count Top Issues Cedar River Park 71 Recreation program improvement, youth program improvement, aquatics needs Gene Coulon Memorial Park 37 More lifeguards, more parking/better location Cedar River Trail Park Lake to Logan 34 More waterfront access, improve Liberty Park 30 Park improvements, skate park improvement Philip Arnold Park 26 More pickleball, restroom improvement Cedar River Trail -South 22 Cleanliness, garbage, accessibility, trails Cedar River Trail -Logan to Library 17 Parks and buildings improvement, especially boathouse Ron Regis Park 15 More turf fields, opportunities for rugby and soccer Sunset Neighborhood Park 15 Shade, trees, proper function of splash pad, parking Tiffany Park 15 More trees, more pickleball Source: City of Renton, 2025; BERK, 2025 Quotes A full list of comments by park and trail are in Attachment A. Selected quotes are found below. The comments were spell checked but otherwise left as is. Improvement of parks and buildings Can the city look into making this park less swampy? It makes the grass field unusable. If you redesign parks, don’t make them smaller. Expand or improve without shrinking them. The wooden dock needs to be replaced and there are a number of improvements needed in the boathouse. Access/Accessibility/Information A path to the new Talbot Rd park for uphill residents. Hard to reach skatepark from North Highlands area. Especially for kids. Translations for immigrant seniors Engagement Results – Spring and Summer 2025 | 6 Create trails and improved access through the natural areas adjacent to the golf course. This could create enhanced public access, diversify and enhance recreational opportunities on city property, and create better access to nature. Explore opportunities to acquire access across private/HOA property. Create connections to new trails on city golf course property. Parking entrance and exit are horrible inclines. Cars bottom out due to poor maintenance causing damage to vehicles. Bike Trails/Multimodal Travel Add loop bike path/pump track at this park Dedicated Multiuse path/bike lane between Union and Jefferson on NE 4th St Has a neighborhood greenway been considered here? The width is arguably not enough for a trail, garden ave is already low traffic and it could be easily upgraded to a greenway already has a traffic diverter too possible parallel bike ped route to park ave Data improvement Identify Corridors Owned by Publicly Owned Utilities such as Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) Add new school - Hilltop Heritage Identify adjacent county owned open space and wetlands Security / Sense of safety Bathrooms having homeless or unsafe conditions, forcing them to be closed or not usable Concerns for drug and homelessness I live right by Jones park and don’t feel safe walking my dog in the area anymore. CPTED benches so people don’t sleep on them People do campfires here frequently in the summer this trail looks like its about to fall off into the ravine, quite frankly this road is dangerous as a trail and needs a rebuild with guard rails. Trees with wide coverage on the city side against wiring poses safety risk Engagement Results – Spring and Summer 2025 | 7 We need a Cross walk and Bump speed to make things safer in this area. Me and my daughter almost got run over 7x in the five years we've lived here. Cars speed soo fast down this road. More maintenance, cleaning, repair Extreme root damage to trail. holy mole hills! Clean up the mole hills here. Its a huge problem that’s not being addressed. Significant Issues with Draining anytime from September to May This spot under the bridge as a shortcut needs to be put on a scheduled cleaning program. No one can stand the stench and I've seen people try to cross by running across Bronsen which is dangerous. Trees too close to skatepark, tree debris always ending up on the ground Recreation program improvement Consider organizing a beach volleyball league here in the summer. I'd sign up! Have a volunteer program run by the parks department around taking care of the natural world Judo Lego programs and technology classes More free giveaway events. Smaller air purifiers Shop/auto classes in Recreation Want for opportunity to borrow or rent skate equipment Want kids Pickleball leagues Wants more movies in the parks Aquatics needs/more lifeguards Wish this beach wasn’t closed due to bacteria as much Please consider guarding these beaches, we use to love seeing our lifeguards here! What's the reasoning for not having lifeguards here? Seems like a huge mistake with the amount of people here, Engagement Results – Spring and Summer 2025 | 8 Another big slide pool Expand bigger wave pool Steeper and extra water slide added Warm good water temperatures, love the pool Ways to stay warm at big slides waiting in line Zipline pool concept Please consider lifeguarding this beach Surveys Community Online Survey To support the development of the PROS Plan, Renton Parks and Recreation implemented a community survey to gather input on stakeholders' needs, preferences, concerns, and priorities for the future. See the Renton PROS Community Survey Summary for more details (part 2 of the Engagement Appendix). Date: April 2, 2025 – September 1, 2025 Participants: 573 Findings and Takeaways: Key themes in the survey included: Walking, jogging, running, or trail use (without dog) was the most common activity respondents do in Renton’s parks. “Better maintenance of existing facilities” was ranked “Important” or higher for 84% of respondents. More open restrooms, upgraded park amenities, and improved security were also ranked highly. When asked about how to invest in the parks system, the top allocations included improving trail access and conditions and creating new parks in neighborhoods that don’t have any. Feeling unsafe was the top barrier to using parks, followed by lack of restrooms and lack of parking. For programming, the top response for how to encourage participation was to provide more information about upcoming programs. Engagement Results – Spring and Summer 2025 | 9 A full set of results are included in Renton PROS Community Survey Appendix. Park Quality Survey Youth Park Quality Assessment As part of a Teen Internship Academy developed by the Neighborhood Program (shared under Outreach Events and Groups), 16 teens signed up to be park quality raters and reviewed several parks. They visited Gene Coulon Memorial Park, Liberty Park, Cedar River Trail, Tiffany, and Cascade. Date: Spring and Summer 2025 Participants: 16 Findings and Takeaways: Play areas were crowded (Liberty, Gene Coulon). Cleanliness was adequate. Court conditions were generally rated poorly. They desired more parks, allowance for dogs (Gene Coulon), a bigger playground (Tiffany), and better access by transit (Gene Coulon, Tiffany). Community Park Quality Assessment A park quality survey was available online in Survey Monkey, with 20 respondents providing specific feedback on particular parks including Burnett Linear Park, Cedar River Dog Park, Cedar River Trail Park, Gene Coulon Memorial Park, Glencoe Park, Highlands Park, Liberty Park, Maplewood Park, Philip Arnold Park, and Sunset Neighborhood Park. Date: Summer 2025 Participants: 20 Findings and Takeaways: Areas that appeared crowded included playgrounds (Highlands) and parking (Sunset). Concerns included accessibility (Burnett, Dog Park, Highlands), cleanliness (Dog Park), condition of equipment/paths (Burnett, Dog Park, Liberty, Sunset Splash Pad), and courts (Maplewood). Engagement Results – Spring and Summer 2025 | 10 Skateboarding Survey A survey specific to skateboarding was shared throughout summer 2025 to gather input on skate park improvements and citywide needs. Date: May 30, 2025 – August 19, 2025 Participants: 53 Findings and Takeaways: Creation of an official skate park under I-405, which has historically been used for skating activities. “Right across Houser Way S, on Cedar Park Trail road across the walking bridge sits an amazing unused space, nestled between the train tracks and the river, that would be absolutely perfect for an undercover skatepark!” General interest in a covered skatepark for use in rainy weather Citywide skating opportunities and culture “bring back the skate culture that Renton used to have when I was younger. Growing up in Renton was a blessing due to that strong culture. The skatepark was once packed with kids and adults enjoying skating together.” Skate dots and skate spots throughout the city Need for facilities in the Fairwood and Highlands areas Expansion and modernization of current formal or informal facilities like Liberty Park. There is strong desire for covered sites with more current skating features. Some requested features for all types of skateboards and roller skates, as well as different abilities. Rehabilitation of the Liberty facility should include concrete resurfacing as well as the addition of some features like small obstacles and ramps. “PLEASE DONT GET RID OF THE CURRENT BOWL” A few respondents believe rebuilding the park might be a better option. Crime was seen by some as a threat to skating culture and safety. Lighting was mentioned by some as a necessity, especially into the night hours. Engagement Results – Spring and Summer 2025 | 11 Community Statistically Valid Survey The City conducts a communitywide survey every two to four years, including one in 2025. The survey covers a broad set of topics to evaluate City performance, inform performance-based budgeting, understand community priorities, and help shape the future of Renton. Some of the results relate to parks and recreation. Date: 2025 Participants: 576 Findings and Takeaways: Most important priorities: Safety and Security Top priority for all Walkability Higher priority for residents under 55, homeowners, and middle to high income households Quality housing for all ages and incomes Higher priority to young people, seniors, renters, and low to middle income households Other key findings: Challenges like car-dependency and crime affect neighborhoods differently. Attendance to special events varies by race, with Hispanic/Latino being the lowest at 7%, and the highest being Asian at 29%, with women attending more frequently than men overall. Engagement Results – Spring and Summer 2025 | 12 Outreach Events Parks & Recreation Internship The same 16 Renton teenagers who completed the Youth Park Quality Assessment also participated in a six week internship program learning about various aspects of the Parks and Recreation program. The program ended with a presentation to the Parks Commission about what was learned and suggestions for improvements.

Comments were spell checked but otherwise left as is. Comments by Park Row Labels Count of Comment Theme Black River Riparian Forest 3 More trails 1 build out proper nature trails 1 Multimodal travel 1 Adding lane striping to other multiuse trails in the city besides just the cedar river, will help pedestrian bike interactions. Examples of places to add this would be, Springbrook trail, Lake to sound, and 8th St trail, I’m sure there are others too. 1 Security / Sense of safety 1 I would say that this area feels so sketch that its barely accessible to families and users unless you're willing to pack a nine mil or mace 1 Bryn Mawr 1 Data improvement 1 Expand Park across right of ways 1 Cascade Park 8 More dog parks or facilities 1 Good space for Dog Park 1 More lighting 1 Needs better lighting, especially on the W and NW parts 1 More park amenities (water fountains, benches, other)1 Playground area can get very hot. Having a drinking fountain and small water play will help with heat. Also needs shade structures or ways to generate breeze 1 More park shelters / shade structures 1 Picnic Cover near playground, shade covering benches 1 More parking, or better located parking 3 Can you add more parking here? My family loves this playground but parking is always a struggle. 1 Cascade Park is really tough to get to and parking is a joke. If you're going to have a nice big park with a playground, you need parking for it. 1 Parking spaces fill quickly and it feels unsafe to park on the side of the street because it's narrow and some cars drive quickly. Since this is by the FFCC, it would be nice if there were joint community events here and a shuttle to + from FFCC. 1 Restroom improvement 1 There needs to be a bathroom at this park. With this nice playground bringing so many kids, they need to be able to not have to go pee in the bushes 1 Cedar River Dog Park 6 Activity ideas -Disc golf 1 Frisbee Golf in this general area 1 Improvement of parks and buildings 1 Engagement Results – Spring and Summer 2025 | 20 Row Labels Count of Comment Theme It would be nice for the large rocks to be removed if possible. We stopped frequenting the dog park for fear of injury to our dog's joints 1 More dog parks or facilities 1 this dog park needs lots of love, its an embarrassment we don't put more resources into dog parks here in Renton. 1 More parking, or better located parking 1 no parking options for this sad dog park :(1 Security / Sense of safety 2 big encampment area. Make this area nicer so it doesn’t attract riffraff 1 Lots of items from encampment 1 Cedar River Natural Area 1 None 1 (blank)1 Cedar River Park 58 Adult programs 1 More sewing and quilting classes please 1 Aquatics needs 9 Another big slide pool 1 Expand bigger wave pool 1 Expand HMAC 1 Out of town, come to HMAC just for it 1 Steeper and extra water slide added 1 Want another HMAC 1 Warm good water temperatures, love the pool 1 Ways to stay warm at big slides waiting in line 1 Zipline pool concept 1 Improvement of parks and buildings 3 Fields are struggle to use. Football missing 1 Remove useless ugly metal short fencing. 1 Turf it all 1 Indoor recreation space 2 build an aux gym 1 It would be nice to have a 3rd basketball gym here 1 More basketball 2 More basketball courts and theme parks 1 Thinking of how big the basketball program is, you should consider adding an auxiliary gym in the grass space next to the gym at the community center 1 More exercise equipment 2 Swings for adults in all passive areas 1 Tree swing 1 More gathering and cultural spaces 1 Amphitheater for theatre camps 1 More lighting 1 Lights at this park would allow field rentals in the winter for soccer and rugby.1 More opportunities for rugby 3 Perfect for two rugby fields!1 This would be a perfect location for multiple rugby fields. This is a destination location that is completely void of passerby foot traffic and would be a perfect venue for multiple rugby fields. Multiple fields would also allow tournaments to be held. 1 Engagement Results – Spring and Summer 2025 | 21 Row Labels Count of Comment Theme This would be a perfect location for rugby goal posts and stadium lighting to be installed for improved use of existing field space, especially in the winter months 1 More park amenities (water fountains, benches, other)1 Fountains back on at HMAC 1 More parks 2 Closer parks to home 1 Wants more Parks like Meadow Crest 1 More pickleball 2 Dedicated senior pickleball open play time requested 1 More pickleball lessons 1 More splash pads 1 Another water park 1 More waterfront access 1 More access to water features across the city 1 Need fields and lights 1 This flat area is a good location for sports fields with lights. There aren't any home nearby that would be negatively impacted by training sessions or noise at night 1 None 1 (blank)1 Recreation program Improvement 13 Automotive classes 1 Bike rental opportunities for programs. Similar to Auburn 1 Judo 1 Lego programs and technology classes 1 More community Events 1 More free giveaway events.

Check in quickly options 1 More affordable services 1 Security / Sense of safety 3 Safety, less homeless 1 The stench of urine under the Bronson is an embarrassment and makes this part of the trail unusable. 1 Want for Safety in all locations 1 Cedar River Trail -South 9 Education 1 Better signage for etiquette and education 1 Improvement of parks and buildings 2 Smell of sewage is strong at this turn. If this is a long-term issue, I think a information sign that says: "What's that smell?" would be fun for travel-byers. 1 The trail here seems to be at danger of washing away into the cedar river, for over a year half of the trail has been closed here. Would be nice to see some action on it. 1 More trees 1 Let some trees grow in this space between the trail and the road. Ever so often the area get's bushwacked which I get for the blackberries but maybe try to keep the trees. 1 Multimodal travel 2 If you could move the cedar river trail crossing back to this intersection I think it would be safer and easier to use for trail users then the current setup. 1 The underpass on Cedar River Park Dr should be closed to vehicles, this could relocate the crosswalk to a safer position. The extra vehicle lane on the west side of Houser way N should not open to vehicles until after the crosswalk. 1 Security / Sense of safety 3 Issues with Homeless populations 1 Many Homeless Living Here 1 the filth being accumulated by the homeless here is out of hand and we have tolerated it too long. these are willfully homeless drug addicts that need mandatory care. please consider our safety. 1 Engagement Results – Spring and Summer 2025 | 23 Row Labels Count of Comment Theme Cedar River Trail Park Lake to Logan 33 Excited / Appreciative 2 Cedar river trail park, a hidden gem!1 Was pleasantly surprised how clean and graffiti free the restroom was. Nice and thank you! 1 Improvement of parks and buildings 6 Renton Boathouse old wood dock needs replacement before it sinks -it is weathered and waterlogged past restoration; it requires a lot of maintenance and limits water access to the Renton community. A replacement will improve salmon habitat. 1 Replace the current failing RRC float, expand the boathouse height and width, provide boat access through the eventual Sam Chastain water trail 1 The wooden dock at the Renton Boathouse (Renton Rowing Center) is deteriorating to a point where it is slippery and unsafe for the several groups and public who use this facility. 1 The wooden dock attached to the boat rental facility at Renton Rowing Center is falling apart! The wood is waterlogged, slippery, and full of nails. An aluminum dock is longer lasting and better for fish habitat. 1 The wooden dock needs to be replaced and there are a number of improvements needed in the boathouse. 1 Wooden dock has badly deteriorated and requires replacement. Planks are rotting and pose a physical hazard. Additional docking space is also recommended. 1 More lighting 1 Water management -this area becomes extremely dark, algae filled, stinky, and collects trash and other debris, more than other lake areas. Consider funding for water management in this area to help keep the area smelling nice, and positive habitat. 1 More maintenance 6 Dock structure is waterlogged and rotting and becoming unsafe for use by the multiple groups based there 1 Please help replace the old wooden dock, for community kayak renters, and improved fish habitat and light access 1 Please replace wooden dock 1 Replace rotting wooden dock 1 The rotting wood dock needs to be replaced 1 Wooden dock portion needs replacement. Old, slippery and unsafe, and not salmon friendly 1 More parks 1 Who owns this little park at the end of the Renton Airport street at the end of the lake? It would be great to donate the land to the City so it could be developed with benches for contemplating the beautiful scenery and calmness. 1 More trees 2 Plant more trees in the field areas. Many lost in the storm, but also opportunities were abound prior to the storm. 1 Quite a few trees were lost during the windstorm on this section. replant some to replace them? 1 More waterfront access 11 Boathouse expansion! Renton rowing center supports programs for all ages and summer rentals. An expansion would allow then to support the community more, and even host events. 1 Engagement Results – Spring and Summer 2025 | 24 Row Labels Count of Comment Theme Boathouse expansion. The facility is used by multiple adult and youth programs and expansion is limited by the available space for equipment storage and activities. 1 Consider expanding the Renton Boathouse to bring rowing and water access to more Renton residents!

The PROS Plan outlines Renton's vision, goals, priorities, and a framework for park investments and system operations. Updated every six years to comply with Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) guidelines, the plan keeps Renton eligible for critical grant funding. The current update will be completed no later than March 1, 2026, to meet RCO requirements. To support the development of the PROS Plan, Renton Parks and Recreation implemented a community survey to gather input on stakeholders' needs, preferences, concerns, and priorities for the future. Responses The Renton PROS Community Survey received 573 responses between April 2, 2025 and September 1, 2025. The survey includes responses from all of Renton’s Community Planning Areas, shown in Exhibit 1. The responses roughly match the population distribution among Renton’s Community Planning Areas, with survey respondents from Benson being slightly overrepresented (21% of survey respondents compared to 14% of Renton’s 2024 population) and Kennydale being slightly underrepresented (6% of survey respondents compared to 13% of Renton's 2024 population). In addition to residents, the survey includes 51 respondents who work in or visit Renton and use its parks and trails.

Resident responses by Community Planning Area Source: City of Renton, 2025; BERK, 2025 Demographic Characteristics To help assess how representative the survey response is, the survey gathered information on respondents' race and language with the following questions:  Which of the following races or ethnicities do you identify as? Select all that apply.  My preferred written language is: Slightly less than half of survey respondents (45%) selected only “white” in their selection of applicable racial and ethnic identities, which reflects city-wide estimates of the White alone population (41%). Other most common racial identities of survey respondents include East Asian (12%), Hispanic and Latino (8%), and two or more races (9%), shown in Exhibit 2.

Racial Identities of Survey Respondents Source City of Renton, 2025; BERK, 2025; U.S. Census Bureau,2020 Decennial Census (Table P9) The survey was made available in multiple languages; however, all survey respondents used the English version of the survey. A total of 526 respondents reported on their preferred written language. There was a combination of responses in English and another language, most commonly Spanish and Punjabi. Exhibit 3 presents a summary of the language needs of the respondents. If the respondent self-reported language preferences that included English, they are categorized as English. The remaining include respondents who expressed a preference for written language in a language other than English. Exhibit 3.

You have $100 for future park improvements. Please specify how much you would spend on each item below.  You can specify $0 to $100, as long as the total does not exceed $100. Put “0” if you don’t want to spend anything on that area. Put $100 if you want to spend everything on one area.  You can spend the money any way you want. Spend the most money on the areas that are most important to you.  Spend $100, but don’t spend more than $100! Five hundred and forty-eight (548) respondents to the prompt distributed the $100 across the available categories. A total of $49,760 was allocated across all survey respondents, with the most common budget increment being $10. Respondents' budget allocations favor improving trail access and conditions ($5,955) as well as creating new parks in neighborhoods that don’t have any ($5,925). The high average budget scores for Improving sports courts ($26.96) and Improving athletic fields ($25.45) are driven by a handful of respondents who put all $100 of their budget into those categories.

Cedar River Trail: Overall COMMUNITY PARK 2.0 2 1.7 1.7 2.3 2 2.3 Trailwide comments: in addition to current kiosks, confirmation and decision point wayfinding signage showing both walking and biking distances and times to various destinations could help improve legibility and a sense of safety for all users. Presence of trail bollards is not in alignment with current best practices. Adding bicycle repair stations at trailheads and/or expercise stations can improve user experience. The asphalt surfaces and adjoining areas could also be activated by art, seating and lighting. Cedar River Trail: SR 169 to Ron Regis Park COMMUNITY PARK 2.5 3 2 2 3 2 Y 3 Clear sightlines and exits . Under passes at bridge present sightline challenges, mirrors may offer mitigation. Intersections could flow more easilty for all users' safety. Refresh paint on CoR sign. Speed limit of 10 miles seems low given facility type. Cedar River Trail: SR 169 to I-405 COMMUNITY PARK 2.0 2 1 2 2 2 N 3 Challenging section of trial due to the presence of adjacent natural areas, geologic hazards and evidence of camping; area near dog park feels safer due to open vistas while other areas are more constrained and offer less "escape" routes. Expanding sightlines at trails and offering call boxes or lighting can help mitigate. Install better "permanent" barrier at recently sloughed river embankment. Speed limit of 10 miles seems low given facility type. Cedar River Trail: I-405 to Lake Washington (Community Park)COMMUNITY PARK 1.5 1 2 1 2 2 N 1 Hit and miss segment. Some exceptional beauty but also clear challenges. Unclear wayfinding when getting from and through the Tri Park Sites. It is also unclear who this segment of the trail is for; previous segments were focused on shared use paths, this feels more pedestrian oriented (e.g. dismount zones). Might it need to be rebranded as a promenade? Some really special moments that highlight some of the gems of Renton and the Cedar River Park is very well used by many walks of life. Springbrook Trail CORRIDOR 1.2 1 1 2 1 1 N 1 Challenging, undersized trail from another era; more appropriate to walking vis shared use. No soft surface walking/recovery zone. Tough sightlines throughout the northern section. Poor paving condition (moss and root intrusion) that gets worse at the southern section. Intersection crossings are very challenging. Evidence of standing water in some locations. Refresh paint on CoR sign. Lake to Sound Trail 1.7 3 1 2 1 1 N 2 New trail constructed by King County.

Black River Riparian Forest NATURAL AREA PARK 1.5 1.5 1 2 1 2 N Major safety issues associated with ilicit activities, known for drug use, encampments, contains one official trail that is compacted soil not currently being managed, there is parking for a few cars but no accessible spot, there are some social trails that can be seen from satelite imagery, encampments impact habitat damaging vegetation, King County Regional Trail (Lake to Sound) is present on this property, informal parking is located at Natches Ave SW Lake to Sound trailhead. Cedar River Natural Area NATURAL AREA PARK 1.0 1 1 1 N Heavily trafficked area for recreation along Cedar River Trail and adjacent NARCo property; however, pervasive encampments homeless population damaging site ecology and creating safety issues, currently working on developing recreation trails here with the goal of restoring some of the ecology and better activating the site, steep slopes here and some of the largest and oldest big leaf maples, but covered with ivy. closest parking currently at RCC but current construction has closed access to about 2 dozen adjacent gravel spots. Signage is not for the natural area that is located here. Honey Creek Natural Area NATURAL AREA PARK 1.6 2 1.5 1 2 N A popular natural surface trail area, but no parking other than street parking well outside the natural area. Future opportunity to connect with the May Creek Greenway via trails. We receive requests every year to help with this place with blackberries and other invasives. No major encampment issues here, some dumping has been observed off of Sunset Ave; Public Works operates and maintains a sewer line along the stream/trail alignment. Stream in generally good condition; public works does some maintenance in here, adjacent street parking only, no parking lot, forest seems to be in better condition overall than Black River and Cedar River Natural Areas. NE 27th St at one point bisected the greenway but is now abandoned, but pavement still exists and is usable as a road but may have potential for a trail May Creek Greenway NATURAL AREA PARK 2.0 2 2 N A lot of invasive vegetation along the alignment with opportunities for restoration. Blackberry is pervasive, as well as knotweed. County is working seperately to address knotweed along the corridor. Heavily used by wildlife because it is a good connection to Cougar Mountain (cougar, black bear, deer, among other speices). Much of the natural area within Renton is not currently accessible, but future plans to improve continuity once access is fully available (in fee simple acqusition, easement, etc.), May Creek Action Plan adopted in 2001 by the County, Newcastle, and Renton helps guide future work: https://your.kingcounty.gov/dnrp/library/2001/kcr726.pdf. Ongoing opportunities to partner with Newcastle on access and improvements - one notable example is from the Kenyon-Dobson property. A small section of soft surface trail between Lake Washington Blvd. I-405 is in generally good condition and maintained reguarly, but unclear if it meets full ADA requirements. Generally, no observed encampments. Lake Street Open Space NATURAL AREA PARK 3.0 3 N Parcel id 3340401185, This parcel appears to be connected to Panther Creek Wetland and is a mowed grass property.

PARK ACCESS & NEED ANALYSIS DETAIL Park Access & Need Analysis Detail | Page 1 Park Access & Need Analysis Detail BERK Consulting, Inc. | November 2025 Introduction This document provides a method and results for the City of Renton’s Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) Plan index methodology which are meant to: 1. Identify gaps in park access to prioritize areas for acquiring new parkland and tools for pursuing partnerships for open space. 2. Highlight areas to renovate existing park infrastructure to meet community needs on parkland, both developed and undeveloped. Thee method creates access index using a methodology similar to the City of Kent’s 2016 and 2022 Parks & Open Space Plans, drawing on preliminary indicator data developed in winter 2025. The effort to produce an Access Index will also allow screening of socioeconomic and health indicators from the State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) Grant Evaluation Criteria. A map tool would illustrate Access Index scores, RCO indices of socioeconomic and health indicators, Land Use (for future growth), and a combined score. The access index can be displayed in an interactive map tool allowing for context layers to be considered including environmental information and other public lands (e.g., utility corridors, surface water management facilities, etc.) and King County Opportunity Areas.1 Exhibit 1 illustrates the overall approach. Each key component is described below. 1 See map and data, for example: Opportunity Area Data Report - King County, Washington Park Access & Need Analysis Detail | Page 2 Exhibit 1: Park Access and Needs Analysis Method Source: BERK Consulting, Inc. 2025 Park Access & Need Analysis Detail | Page 3 Combined Park Access The Park Access Method includes a combined park access score for all areas across the City of Renton (using a 10x10 grid). This score will contain three component parts: 1. Walkshed and driveshed service areas 2. Current amenity (recreation) values 3. Transit access Each of these inputs will be weighted and combined to calculate a single park access score. The method excludes some areas from the analysis as needed, such as public property and potentially other areas. Walkshed and Driveshed Service Areas Walkshed service areas will cover areas within 10 and 15 minutes from all park entrances, following the street network and calculated at average walking speeds. Scoring score areas within the 10-minute walkshed most highly, followed by areas within the 15-minute walkshed. Driveshed service areas will cover areas within a 5-minute drive of Regional and Community park entrances based on typical traffic conditions. Current Amenity Values A “current amenity value” (CAV) will be assigned to all areas within a 15-minute walkshed of park entrances. This CAV score is based on recreational amenities at each existing park and will be applied to each park’s individual 15-minute walkshed. Walksheds with CAV scores will then be layered to produce an aggregate CAV score for all areas, based on the combined CAV from each park walkshed. The approach will be similar to Kent’s approach to recreation value but will incorporate Renton’s park quality scoring. It also addresses a completeness value too. The steps include: 1.Identify recreational amenities at each existing park. It relies on the City’s park database developed by the City. The list includes: a. Amenities: Picnic and Shade Shelters, Barbeque, Boat Launch, Docks, Swimming b. Lighting (Paths or Fields), c. Pathways/Trails, d. Playgrounds and Skate Parks, e. Sports Fields (Baseball, Soccer, Cricket) and Exercise Equipment, f. Sports Courts (Basketball, Pickleball, Tennis,, Futsal, Volleyball, Handball, Horseshoes) g. Special Facility (Community Centers, Dog Park, Aquatic Center, Community Garden) Park Access & Need Analysis Detail | Page 4 2.Qualify the recreational amenities: 3.Apply a quality score to each park using results of the condition scoring. 4.Recognizing that parks serve different functions and may not be comparable except in their own classification (e.g., neighborhood to neighborhood and natural area to natural area). Consider completeness based on how the parks fulfill the recommended resources for the park type. a. 0: Undeveloped b. 1: Partial completion. Does not meet minimum (recommended) standards in 2020 PROS Plan Appendix B for park class. c. 2: Meets minimum (recommended) standards. Further implementation of park master plan is needed. d. 3: Complete to minimum (recommended) standards and master plan. 5.Calculate combined CAV scores for each park, relative to other facilities in the same classification. This is intended to prevent value scores from being skewed toward larger facilities with a high number of amenities and ensure the value of less developed parks and natural areas is adequately reflected. However, additional weighting adjustments can be incorporated based on park type or number of daily visitors (based on Placer AI data). Transit Access Transit access includes a calculated walking distance from each park to the nearest transit stop, with disaggregated designations for whether the transit service is frequent or non-frequent. The effort includes scoring parks in the following priority order: Frequent transit service stop located at the park Non-frequent transit service stop located at the park Frequent transit service stop located within ½-mile of the park Non-frequent transit service stop located within ¼-mile of the park This method will make use of the City’s prior work on middle housing and zoning to establish transit stop locations and frequency of service. Access Index Results Access index results show very high access in the City Center, Cedar River, and much of the Highlands Community Planning Areas. Benson, Talbot, East Plateau, and portions of Kennydale, West Hill, and the south end of the Highlands Planning Area have low access. Improving access to natural areas and opening undeveloped parkland can improve park access. Park Access & Need Analysis Detail | Page 5 Exhibit 2: Access - Developed Parks Only Source: BERK, 2025.

Park Access & Need Analysis Detail | Page 8 Equity and Community Characteristics The City desires to fully align socioeconomic and health information with State RCO Grant Evaluation Criteria.2 The City may also reference King County Land Conservation Initiative Opportunity Areas analysis for additional context and site screening. A list of the features of each dataset is included in the Attachment. The revised Equity index method will directly incorporate the Social Vulnerability Rank and Poor Health Outcomes Rank components of RCO’s Statewide Priorities mapping, which are based on the Washington Department of Health’s Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) and the Poor Health Outcomes sub-index of the DOH Health Disparities Index. The need analysis will use these index datasets to create a composite Social Equity Index for Renton and the Census Tract level, and index scores will be assigned to analysis grid cells contained within each tract. Using the SVI and Poor Health Outcomes sub-index directly will provide consistency with RCO standards and allow the City to leverage the data normalization and scoring work already performed by DOH. The DOH indices have also undergone extensive vetting with stakeholders, and the state recently decided to use DOH's larger Environmental Health Disparities method as part of a new statewide definition for overburdened communities -- i.e., tract-level EHD scores of 8 or higher are now a formal part of the statewide definition. 2 See Fact Sheet regarding Social Vulnerability Index and Poor Health Outcomes Index: Need Criteria: Statewide Priorities Fact Sheet, January 2024.

Park Access & Need Analysis Detail | Page 10 Land Use Land use designations are used as a proxy for density to allow for consideration of future growth. Recent subarea plans such as for Rainier/Grady Way are considered. This evaluation also includes an overlay area for Longacres where additional residential/mixed use is anticipated. Park Access & Need Analysis Detail | Page 11 Exhibit 6: Future Land Use and Population Density Map Source; City of Renton, 2024; BERK, 2025. Park Access & Need Analysis Detail | Page 12 Environmental Resilience Drawing from its existing “Environmental Resilience” sub-index, BERK will create individual spatial layers that address distinct components of environmental resilience. At a minimum, BERK recommends including tree canopy, heat, and heat retention (i.e., the level of overnight cooling) and flooding. Other options could include critical areas. Using and Interpretating Data Outputs The Current Park Access, Equity, and Land Use/Population outputs is combined to generate a consolidated Park Need Index score. This combined index will be the primary tool for identifying access gaps across the City of Renton, but individual sub-index score will be available to allow screening of specific factors. See Exhibit 7. Exhibit 7: Park Need Index Source: BERK Consulting, Inc. 2025 Additionally, data on King County Opportunity Mapping and environmental resilience will be available to assist with further screening and prioritization. The method includes exporting geospatial layers and maps of the combined index and the three sub-indices. The information can be posted in an interactive online map tool for the City to view these layers alongside the context layers. Together, this method will help rigorously identify gaps in the park system and contextualize those gaps relative to equity priorities, population concentrations, and environmental needs. Park Need Results Combining access, social and health risk, and land use/population density, the higher park needs areas include portions of: Benson, Talbot, West Hill, and south Highlands. These areas plus East Plateau have moderate-high park needs as well.

Park Access & Need Analysis Detail | Page 16 Attachment A: State and County Socioeconomic and Health Indices Recreation and Conservation Office Social Vulnerability Index (Used by RCO) https://fortress.wa.gov/doh/wtn/WTNIBL/Map/SV2COVID This "Social Vulnerability Index (SVI)" is based off the Social Vulnerability Index developed by the CDC. The CDC has created slightly different census tract level SVI products over the years, the two most recent use data for 2018 and 2020. Our SVI uses data for 2019 and includes all the data measures used in CDC's 2018 census tract SVI dataset, plus an addition of the health insurance data measure used in CDC's 2020 census tract SVI dataset. The SVI map uses 2010 census tract boundaries obtained through the Washington State Office of Financial Management. Republished January 31, 2022 (Correction to theme and overall ranks) All data are presented at the census tract geography. In order to have accurate census tract data for all tracts in Washington, the Census-American Community Survey (ACS) provides five-year estimates for the data measures we use. To create the SVI, we use ACS data for all measures except the people of color data which is provided by the Office of Financial Management. Household Composition & Disability Population 65+ (%) Population Under 18 (%) Population with a Disability (%) Single Parent Household (%) Housing Type & Transportation Housing with 10+ Units (%) Mobile Homes (%) No Access to a Private Vehicle (%) Overcrowded Housing (%) Population Living in Group Quarters (%) Race, Ethnicity, & Language People of Color (Race/Ethnicity) Primary Language other than English Socioeconomic Determinants Median Household Income No High School Diploma (%) Population 19 to 64 with No Health Insurance (%) Population Living in Poverty (%) Unemployment (%) Park Access & Need Analysis Detail | Page 17 Health Disparities The rankings help to compare health and social factors that may contribute to disparities in a community. You should not interpret rankings as absolute values. Do not use them to diagnose a community health issue or to label a community. The Health Disparities map uses 2010 census tract boundaries obtained through the Washington State Office of Financial Management. The CDC has created slightly different census tract level SVI products over the years, the two most recent data used for 2018 and 2020. Our SVI uses data for 2019 and includes all the data measures used in CDC's 2018 census tract SVI dataset, plus an addition of the health insurance data measure used in CDC's 2020 census tract SVI dataset. Health disparities are differences in health outcomes across population groups. Social determinants of health are social, economic, and environmental factors that impact health outcomes. Health inequities are the differences in health status and outcomes across population groups that are systematic, avoidable, unfair, and unjust. These differences are sustained over time and generations, are beyond the control of individuals, and follow the larger patterns of inequality that exist in society. Social Determinants No Access to a Private Vehicle (%) No High School Diploma (%) Population 65+ Living Alone (%) Population with a Disability (%) Primary Language other than English Economic Determinants Children Living in Poverty (%) Population 19 to 64 with No Health Insurance (%) Population Living in Poverty (%) Single Parent Household (%) Unaffordable Housing (>30% of Income) Unemployment (%) Poor Health Outcomes (this sub-index used by RCO) Cancer Deaths - all Death from Cardiovascular Disease Low Birth Weight Lower Life Expectancy at Birth (Years) Premature Death Park Access & Need Analysis Detail | Page 18 King County Opportunity Area Data Report - King County, Washington Criteria and Data Notes and Considerations Comparison to State RCO Criterion Considerations Lowest 1/3 of median household incomes Non-residential parcels are also applied with this information (e.g., PACCAR, Commercial Stores). Seems inconsistent/inaccurate. Included in DOH SVI. Highest 1/3 of hospitalization rates How are hospitalization rates transferred at a parcel scale with accuracy? Lack of access to open space Would overlap the Renton- specific access analysis. Additional Parcel Data Considerations Data Points For these first 8 data points, higher percentile values may indicate a stronger case for being in an opportunity area. Poverty Indicator is for residents. See note under income about non- residential parcels. Included in DOH SVI and Health Disparities Index. Free & reduced-price school meals Indicator is for residents. See note under income about non- residential parcels. Limited English-speaking households Indicator is for residents. See note under income about non- residential parcels. Included in DOH SVI and Health Disparities Index. Population under age 5 Indicator is for residents. See note under income about non- residential parcels. Population that are people of color Indicator is for residents. See note under income about non- residential parcels. Included in DOH SVI. Population with disabilities Indicator is for residents. See note under income about non- residential parcels. Included in DOH SVI and Health Disparities Index. Population with disabilities and lacking health insurance Indicator is for residents. See note under income about non- residential parcels. Households receiving food stamps / SNAP with 1+ person with disabilities Indicator is for residents. See note under income about non- residential parcels. For these final 3 data points, lower percentile values may indicate a stronger case for being in an opportunity area. Park Access & Need Analysis Detail | Page 19 Criteria and Data Notes and Considerations Comparison to State RCO Average life expectancy Indicator is for residents. See note under income about non- residential parcels. In DOH Health Disparities Index. Open space & park density per capita (acres per person) Would overlap the Renton- specific access analysis. Tree canopy (neighborhood "greenness") City does not want this included in index per other comments.
