Whether you responded to a survey,joined us at a community meeting, shared ideas at an event, or offered feedback in other meaningful ways, your participation made this plan possible. Your voices, perspectives, and lived experiences reflect the heart of Renton, and they will continue to guide the future of our parks, recreation programs, and open spaces for years to come. We are also grateful to the many community organizations, service providers, and local businesses that supported the engagement process by opening their doors, sharing space, and helping us connect with residents across Renton. Your willingness to collaborate ensured that this plan reflects the diversity, vibrancy, and spirit of our community. To Our Parks and Recreation Team We extend our sincere thanks to the dedicated Parks and Recreation Department staff whose passion, expertise, and day-to-day commitment to service inspired every part of this plan. Staff contributed valuable insights, participated in surveys and workshops, engaged directly with the community, and consistently championed the mission of fostering a connected, active, and welcoming Renton. Their work is the foundation upon which this plan, and our future improvements, stand. This PROS Plan was developed in partnership with BERK Consulting, whose technical expertise and facilitation helped bring the community's ideas and aspirations into a cohesive, forward-looking vision. Together with our residents, partners, and staff we look forward to building a parks and recreation system that continues to reflect the pride, diversity, and promise of the City of Renton.

PROS Plan � January 2026 RENTON'S PARK SYSTEM The City manages 58 park sites across Renton, totaling 1,339 acres of public parkland including 432 acres of active recreation parks, and 826 acres of natural area parks. These facilities support community wellbeing and enjoyment as well as natural resource stewardship and �,� �2 habitat conservation. Parks offer a variety of amenities for ��=°��='�� '� public benefit, including gathering spaces, picnic and play -= �� ' ,w;�,��, :� .� _ ,;� facilities, nature and water access, walking paths, sports ` , , fields and courts, and special use facilities like community ,, �'`a'' ��':��: � �� Y�� .•..

WHY WE PLAN There are three key reasons why Renton has a Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) Plan and updates it every six years: ■ Maintaining Eligibility for State Funding. The City must have an adopted parks plan that is no more than six years old to qualify for Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) grants. These grants are a key funding source for many parks and recreation projects across the state. RCO also sets requirements for what needs to be in the plan in order to be in compliance. This PROS Plan is intended to align with the state's criteria. ■ Aligning Community Priorities and Needs. Revisiting the PROS Plan every six years creates an opportunity for the City to analyze park condition, completeness, and access, while also conducting broad community engagement. This process helps the City understand how community priorities may have evolved and ensures that park planning is directly informed by up-to- date information and input. � Pa � 1-1 PROS Plan � January 2026 ■ Creating a Roadmap for Decision-Making. The PROS Plan includes a list of projects and programming recommendations that serve as a roadmap for future City efforts and investments. As Renton develops the biennial City budget, pursues grant and other funding, and creates new programs, the PROS Plan guides its direction. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER CITY PLANS The City has several other planning documents that relate to parks planning, as shown in Exhibit 1-1.

Median income in Renton is also lower than King County as a whole, and a higher rate of residents receive i`` food stamps/SNAP benefits. Health Exhibit 1-3: Community Planning Areas characteristics in Renton parallel county rates, with high rates of high blood pressure and depression. Areas of Renton that may K e n n y d a I e have higher health and social risks, based on a variety of indicators, include West Hill, ' Highlands part of City Center, part of Highlands, and west "�� 0 part of Benson.

While some areas, such as the City Center and Valley, experience d Renton City Boundary d Community Planning Areas IPa , � 1-5 PROS Plan � January 2026 lower tree canopy coverage, higher heat-island effects, or localized flood risks particularly near the Cedar River, these conditions also highlight clear opportunities for targeted greening, restoration, and climate-resilience investments. The PROS Plan builds on the city's rich natural assets and identifies strategies to enhance community health and social well-being through a balanced system of active and passive parks, recreation facilities, and nature-based experiences that celebrate Renton's unique environment. Existing Park System and Services H �� The parkland inventory details the park sites and acreage ' that make up the City's system.

Participation in City-led programming has steadily increased since the COVID-19 � pandemic, demonstrating strong community interest and engagement. While some large community events and certain youth programs have not returned to pre-pandemic levels, this reflects evolving community preferences, shifting staffing and facility capacities, and the department's focus on offering programs that are safe, high-quality, and responsive to current demand. The Renton Community Center continues to serve as the City's primary hub for recreation, recording the highest level of program registrations across all facilities. In addition to City-provided services, Renton benefits from a broad network of community organizations that offer complementary recreational opportunities. The City supports this ecosystem by making select community and recreation spaces available to nonprofits that provide additional low-cost, high-value services and experiences for Renton residents. This approach strengthens community access while maintaining flexibility to adapt partnerships as community needs evolve. IPa , � 1-6 PROS Plan � January 2026 COMMUNITY NEEDS AND ENGAGEMENT Community Engagement �c ' � � Renton Parks and Recreation led an extensive community ;,�� '� engagement effort to guide the PROS Plan update. This .C�'�►`.�, � ;� �� ..:' included more than 30 events, a community survey, and a ��. ,''�°� • � '� -�� - ��. park rating interactive map tool. A citywide survey �� '� conducted in mid-2025 also included questions about ,,; �� . �� parks and recreation. More than 5,000 residents were � �;�; � � '��' , . � engaged from March through September 2025, including � � � � i�� i;:��r : 573 survey respondents, 586 interactive pin map '�: �� := � ►� comments, and thousands of event attendees such as at ' '�-,��;1�: �� Renton River Days. � ' � � - . _ ` ` Community input suggested parks should be accessible, i� � - �► connected, clean, green, maintained, modernized, secure, '' '� and sustainable. Participants also highlighted a range of _ amenities they want to see in Renton parks. . � Trends Park trend data indicate that usage varies across the Renton park system. Overall system-wide park visits have increased since 2021, with Kiwanis Park experiencing the largest annual growth following a major renovation in 2023. The City's only regional park, Gene Coulon Memorial Park, along Lake Washington offers a wide range of community events, water access, play and social amenities, trails, sports facilities. It attracts the highest number of annual visits by both local and regional visitors. Renton's park system serves a growing population efficiently, with a similar number of people using each park as seen in peer communities. While Renton has fewer acres of parkland and fewer full-time equivalent parks staff per 1,000 residents, the system continues to deliver well-used amenities and responsive services. Higher use levels for certain facilities such as playgrounds and rectangular fields highlight strong community demand and present clear opportunities for strategic investment. These findings reaffirm the importance of continued staffing and capital improvements to sustain quality service and meet the evolving needs of Renton's residents. IPa � 1-7 PROS Plan � January 2026 Other sources of trend data suggest a county, state, and national focus on family activities, sports and fitness, gathering spaces, special use facilities, access to green space, walking and biking, and water access, as well as support facilities like restrooms. Gaps in the System The plan evaluates opportunities within the park system by examining park conditions, amenity completeness, and access across the community. To assess park conditions, the project team conducted on-site evaluations, engaged with community members, and reviewed additional data sources. Amenities were scored individually and combined into an overall score for each park, with perceptions of safety and ADA accessibility included to help identify areas where enhancements could further support community use. This analysis showed that several Community Planning Areas such as Cedar River, Kennydale, and the Valley have parks with lower overall condition scores, highlighting clear opportunities for reinvestment and revitalization. Park completeness was also assessed to determine whether each park offers the amenities typically expected for its classification. When combined with condition scores, these factors created an overall "amenity value" score. Parks in Benson, Cedar River, Kennydale, Valley, and West Hill received lower scores than others, signaling areas where thoughtful upgrades could significantly enhance user experience and better meet community needs. The access analysis, which incorporated amenity value scores, identified portions of West Hill, Talbot, Benson, East Plateau, and the Highlands as having lower access to parks. When population density and social and health indicators were added, these areas continued to emerge as having the greatest opportunity for expanded park access and improvements. These findings provide a strong foundation for prioritizing future investments that advance equity, improve quality, and ensure all residents benefit from a vibrant and accessible park system. IPa �, � 1-8 PROS Plan � January 2026 Recreation Needs Community survey results show that residents are eager to engage more with City programs and would do so with greater visibility, easier registration, and more convenient options. The Recreation team consistently delivers a wide range of quality programs. Program variety also depends on each location's amenities. Investing in a registration system with a customer experience focus and expanding communication capacity would improve access, awareness, and participation aligning with community feedback and our commitment to responsive service. Needs by Community Planning Area Each Community Planning Area has unique needs shaped by demographics, physical characteristics, current park access, and community input. A summary of these attributes is included for each Community Planning Area. Overall, Community Planning Areas in south and east Renton need more access to parks whether by opening undeveloped park land or acquiring or partnering to provide more parkland. Community Planning Areas in central Renton need improved maintenance and updated amenities. Central Renton Community Planning Areas are also projected to experience the majority of the City's future growth and see greater demand which would mean adding capacity for active and passive facilities at existing parkland and potential expansion or additions in growing areas. THE FUTURE OF RENTON'S PARKS This chapter includes a Vision, describing how the Parks and Recreation Department will manage the parks system over the long term, and Framework Principles, which describe fundamental values. Vision: To foster a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable community through the enhancement of Renton's parks and recreational services, promoting health, equity, and environmental stewardship. / Pa , � 1-9 PROS Plan � January 2026 Framework Principles: dC7C7� • • �i�l�l�� r Promote Support Equitable Strengthen Steward Our Community Health Park Access for All Environmental Resources and Wellbeing Resilience Effectively and Responsibly Goals and Objectives describe the specific desired outcomes and the action-oriented steps to achieve the Vision. Goals and Objectives are organized by each Framework Principle. PARKS, RECREATION, AND NATURAL AREAS SYSTEM STRATEGI ES Park Types & Classifications Parks in Renton are organized into eight categories (Exhibit 1-5): ■ Regional Parks ■ Community Parks ■ Neighborhood Parks ■ Urban Plazas ■ Corridor/Linear Parks ■ Special Use Parks ■ Natural Areas ■ Greenways and Greenscapes These classifications help the City define what parks amenities are typical in different types of parks, develop maintenance management plans, and allocate resources.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT AND PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION PLAN A series of recommendations guide the City's park project list: ■ Quick Wins. These emphasize a focus on major maintenance, refreshing parks with small projects, and phasing the opening of new parks to provide access more quickly. ■ Core Investments. These include bringing facilities to current standards, investing in new amenities, designing park features for versatility, supporting sustainability and resilience, improving a sense of safety, and collaborating with community partners. ■ Increased Access. These focus on acquisition and filling gaps as well as making investments that serve both current and future generations.

Revenue sources supporting capital replacement and maintenance provide Access include, but are not limited to, Real Estate Excise Tax (REET 2) and King County Levy pass through funds. • Respond to growth by investing in active and passive facilities such as by adding and moving park sites towards completeness of their park classification standards. Adding capacity by adding active (organized sports) and passive (family or individual) recreation on existing sites would be eligible for park impact fees. ■ Provide access in park access gap areas by opening undeveloped parks in areas that lack parks within a '/2 mile of lower density residential areas and '/4 mile of higher density residential areas, or developing partnerships to make sites available to the community (e.g., after-hours use of schools or utility corridors). I Pag � 1-13 PROS Plan � January 2026 Park Capital Planning The Capital Plan provides a strategic and forward-looking roadmap for strengthening Renton's parks, trails, and open spaces. It outlines the projects the City can pursue as funding becomes available and reflects a commitment to providing safe, welcoming, and high-quality spaces that evolve with community needs. While past resource challenges and organizational transitions have shaped the current state of the system, they also create a significant opportunity: to reinvest in what we have, extend the life of existing capital assets, and ensure that our parks system continues to serve residents well into the future. The plan includes 85 projects organized around the areas of greatest community impact, emphasizing reinvestment, quality maintenance, and thoughtful development of existing facilities. Priority project categories include: • Preservation, Sustainability, and Capital Reinvestment • Responsive and Quality Maintenance & Replacement of Existing Amenities ■ Support Facilities (restrooms, parking, utilities, lighting, accessibility upgrades) ■ Multi-Amenity and Community Park Enhancements ■ Active and Passive Recreation Facilities ■ Park Master Planning and Site-Specific Design Work • Natural Resources Management and Ecological Stewardship • Public Access and Trail Improvements ■ Social, Cultural, and Recreation Uses ■ Targeted Acquisition or Expansion (where access gaps or strategic needs remain) • Special Uses Alongside site-specific projects, the plan identifies systemwide improvements that will elevate overall quality and usability across the entire park network.These include ADA accessibility upgrades; improved entry, wayfinding, and informational signage; restroom replacements; park and shade structures; path and trail renovations and expansions; playground renovations; structural reviews and building repairs; and stormwater management improvements. I Pag � 1-14 PROS Plan � January 2026 Projects will rely on a range of funding sources, including Real Estate Excise Tax (REET), grants, park impact fees, King County Parks Levy funds, and, where appropriate, bonds or other financing tools. Renton continues to manage and enhance its park system through responsible stewardship - holding and preparing properties for future development, conducting project studies and master plans, leveraging partnerships, completing design work, and constructing improvements in phases. This flexible and responsive approach ensures the City can adapt to changing needs while maximizing community benefit from every investment. See Exhibit 1-9. Exhibit 1-7: Capital Improvement Project Lifecycle ;�- • �- �� n n n n � Holdings, ProjectStudies, Design Develop,Construct Operaite&Mair�tain Acquisitions Master Plans As Renton serves as the community's largest provider of recreation programs, ongoing evaluation is essential to ensure offerings remain responsive, inclusive, and aligned with community interests. The plan introduces a structured review process that helps identify opportunities to enhance existing programs, introduce new ones, or thoughtfully adjust offerings as participation and needs evolve. Renton's recreation division currently operates with a cost recovery model informed by best practices from the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), recovering approximately 25-50% of program delivery costs. This framework supports fiscal responsibility while maintaining broad community access. The City has future opportunities to refine its cost recovery policy in a way that continues to promote equity and reduces financial barriers for residents. A key component of Renton's commitment to accessibility is the Gift of Play program, which provides financial assistance that either reduces or fully eliminates program fees for eligible participants. Families and children who qualify for free or reduced lunch or receive SNAP benefits are automatically eligible for Gift of Play scholarships. Additional fee reductions are also available for participants in adaptive recreation programs and for many senior programs serving income-restricted older adults. These resources help ensure that cost is not a barrier to participation in enriching recreational opportunities. I Pag � 1-15 PROS Plan � January 2026 The plan includes guiding principles for Renton's recreation program, emphasizing accessible services, clearly defined program focus areas, and thoughtful cost and performance evaluation. Park System Implementation Actions The plan outlines several key implementation actions to support a vibrant, well- maintained, and community-centered parks and recreation system: • Partnerships: Strengthening collaborations across City departments and with community organizations, public agencies, and public and private landowners to support park development, maintenance, programming, and shared stewardship. • Funding and Strategic Investment: Advancing the Capital Improvement Plan; monitoring undeveloped sites; exploring efficient approaches to development; identifying diverse funding sources; updating park impact fees; and investing in staff training and professional development. • Park Planning, Design, and Activation: Applying life-cycle analysis to guide reinvestment; refining design approaches; establishing standards for quality, safety, and sustainable care; improving signage and wayfinding; and promoting active, inclusive use of park spaces. • Recreation Program Enhancement: Increasing program visibility; improving data collection and evaluation tools; refining the cost recovery policy; and using a balanced cost-benefit approach to strengthen long-term program sustainability. Monitoring, Reviewing, and Updating To ensure the PROS Plan remains effective and responsive, the City will track progress through performance metrics aligned with the plan's Framework Principles. These include periodic reviews of park conditions and completeness scores, measures of park access, progress in ADA improvements, and implementation of capital projects. Integrating these metrics into budgeting and capital improvement processes will help the City monitor progress, celebrate achievements, and identify new opportunities to strengthen Renton's park and recreation system over time.

RENTON TODAY PROS Plan � January 2026 This chapter presents an overview of Renton's community demographics and physical characteristics, and an inventory and classification of the park system. It provides a baseline for the Community Needs evaluation in the following chapter. connnnuN��r DEMOGRAPHICS Population As of 2025, Renton has a population of about 110,000 residents (Washington OFM, 2025). The population has grown by around 10% since 2015 and is expected to continue growing. The City's adopted growth target for 2019-2044 is approximately 17,000 new housing units (City of Renton, 2025). This is a substantial increase: it represents 39% more housing units than the 2020 housing supply (US Census Bureau, 2025; City of Renton, 2025). Population density varies across the city (Exhibit 2-1). The most densely populated Community Planning Areas are Highlands, Benson, and West Hill (see (Exhibit 2-1 for Community Planning Areas). Some areas of higher density are also located in Valley (north end), Talbot, Fairwood, and East Plateau. Other areas, like Cedar River and Kennydale, are less dense. Exhibit 2-2 shows a future population density index. This takes into consideration the intensity of current zoning as well as planned future growth. A higher Population Density Score indicates areas that are currently dense or will be dense in the future in terms of population. In the future, the densest Community Planning Areas are expected to be City Center, Benson, and Highlands, with pockets of high density also found in other parts of the city, like West Hill, Kennydale, and Cedar River. Longacres in the Valley may also see mixed use growth.

The City of Renton remains committed to providing affordable, inclusive opportunities that meet community needs. Renton's median household income of $92,292 is lower than the King County median income of $116,340, a difference of approximately 26% (Exhibit 2-8). While the overall poverty rate is the same at 8%, Renton has a slightly higher share of residents living at or below twice the federal poverty level (20% compared to 18%). This indicates that while core poverty levels are similar, a larger proportion of Renton households are near or just above the threshold where they may still struggle to afford essential needs. P a c � 2-6 PROS Plan � January 2026 Exhibit 2-8: Income Characteristics . . . .

Accessing parks and recreation sites by walking, rolling, driving, and transit is important for the community. Employment A well-maintained, accessible, and connected parks and recreation system is a key component of Renton's economic development strategy. Quality parks, trails, and recreational amenities help make the city an attractive place for employers to locate and grow. Businesses increasingly look for communities where their employees and customers have access to safe, vibrant outdoor spaces, opportunities for recreation, and amenities that support health and wellbeing. In addition to supporting employers, the Parks and Recreation Department directly contributes to workforce development. Each year the department hires a large seasonal workforce of more than 200 seasonal employees during peak spring and summer operations. These positions provide meaningful entry-level and early-career employment opportunities for young adults, and residents seeking flexible schedules or skill-building roles. Seasonal and part-time roles in aquatics, park maintenance, recreation programming, customer service, and youth sports offer valuable experience that prepares individuals for future employment both within the city and in the broader regional workforce. As of 2022, Renton supported approximately 67,620 jobs, with employment centers concentrated in the City Center and Valley Community Planning Areas (U.S. Census Bureau, 2025). Renton's adopted growth target for 2019-2044 is 31,780 new jobs an increase of roughly 50% over the 2020 baseline (City of Renton, 2025). As the city continues to grow its employment base, a strong parks and recreation system and the Page � 2-7 PROS Plan � January 2026 department's ongoing workforce development efforts will remain essential elements of Renton's overall economic vitality. Health Exhibit 2-9: Health Characteristics � . . . .

A well-planned parks and recreation system supports community health by providing accessible opportunities for physical activity, social connection, and outdoor recreation. Health characteristics among Renton adults are generally comparable to King County overall (Exhibit 2-9). However, several indicators—including lack of health insurance, diabetes prevalence, and the share of adults reporting "fair or poor" health— are modestly higher in Renton. Slightly elevated rates of asthma, coronary heart disease, and depression also suggest opportunities to strengthen community wellness resources. While parks and recreation are not primary health intervention systems, they contribute meaningfully to public health by reducing barriers to active living and offering no- or low-cost opportunities for movement, stress reduction, and community engagement. These benefits are particularly relevant for residents who may experience financial, transportation, or access limitations to private recreation facilities. To further assess community needs, Exhibit 2-10 presents a combined equity index incorporating social vulnerability and health indicators. This index draws on established Pac � 2-8 PROS Plan � January 2026 datasets, including the Social Vulnerability Index and the Washington Health Disparities Index, and aligns with the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office's equity and priority-need framework. The analysis identifies areas of Renton specifically West Hill, segments of the City Center, the Highlands, and the Benson area as exhibiting higher combined social and health risks. These findings support targeted planning and resource allocation strategies that improve park access, enhance program availability, and increase the distribution of health-supportive amenities in areas of higher need. Within this context, the City's parks and recreation system functions as a complementary component of a broader public health landscape. Through coordinated planning, interdepartmental collaboration, and data-informed investment, the system can contribute to improved health outcomes while remaining aligned with its core mission and service capabilities.

Page � 2-10 PROS Plan � January 2026 PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS Renton's parks and recreation system is shaped by the city's diverse geography and the need to steward natural resources in a manner that is resilient to changing environmental and climate conditions. Geographic Context Located at the south end of Lake Washington, Renton encompasses approximately 23.4 square miles (US Census Bureau, 2025). The Cedar River bisects the city, serving as both a defining natural feature and a central corridor for parks, trails, and open space. Regional connectivity is influenced by the I-405 corridor, which traverses the City Center and links Renton to neighboring jurisdictions and regional transportation networks. The city is organized into ten Community Planning Areas, each reflecting distinct land use patterns, population characteristics, and environmental conditions (Exhibit 2-11). Cultural Resources Located at the juncture of the Black and Cedar rivers and Lake Washington, the land that had been Duwamish tribal homelands for centuries would become the City of Renton with the influx of coal miners, loggers, and other workers. By 1901 growth and investment allowed the city to officially incorporate. Since 1901, Renton grew through residents arriving to be part of a robust economy, first for coal mining, then for jobs at PACCAR and Boeing, and recently for high tech and service occupations. (City of Renton, 2026) According to the State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation's Archaeological Risk Assessment Model, many of Renton's shorelines and valley are likely to contain cultural resources, and many of the City's parks and open spaces are located along Lake Washington, Cedar River, Black River, and Springbrook Creek. (Washington Department of Arhaeology and Historic Preservation, 2026) The City has adopted a shoreline master program policies and regulations that identify when cultural assessments are required and also require stop work if there is a discovery of materials (see RMC 4-3-090D). Further, the City's Comprehensive Plan includes specific Objectives and Policies aimed at providing for the protection of cultural resources (City of Renton, 2024). When designing parks the City also meets state and federal guidelines and Tribal consultation requirements and conducts environmental review. I P a g � 2-11 PROS Plan � January 2026 Tree Canopy, Urban Heat, and Flooding Considerations Tree canopy coverage varies substantially across the city. The City Center and Valley neighborhoods exhibit the lowest levels of canopy, largely reflecting historic development patterns particularly business and industrial areas built with minimal tree planting. In contrast, neighborhoods such as Talbot, Cedar River, Fairwood, and Kennydale maintain higher levels of canopy coverage, supported by older residential areas and significant natural corridors (Exhibit 2-12). Parklands, especially those along the Cedar River and May Creek, contribute substantially to the long-term preservation of the urban forest, as trees on public lands are less susceptible to redevelopment- related loss. Urban heat exposure follows similar patterns. A 2021 heat-mapping study identifies Valley, City Center, and areas of Benson, Fairwood, and the Highlands as the warmest parts of the city, generally correlating with lower canopy coverage and increased impervious surfaces (CAPA Strategies, 2021; Exhibit 2-13). Flood susceptibility is another important environmental consideration. Portions of the Valley neighborhood, segments of the City Center and Cedar River corridor, and smaller areas in Benson and the East Plateau fall within mapped flood zones (Exhibit 2-14). These conditions influence park planning, infrastructure design, and strategies to enhance climate resilience. Urban Forestry Program and Its Citywide Role Renton's urban forestry program housed within the Parks and Recreation Department plays an essential role in managing and expanding the citywide tree canopy. The program has two dedicated FTEs, including the Urban Forestry and Natural Resources Manager and an Inspecting Arborist, who oversee the health and management of trees in public spaces. Their work is closely integrated with Parks Maintenance and other city departments to ensure coordinated land stewardship across streetscapes, rights-of- way, parks, and public properties. In addition to supporting daily land management needs, the urban forestry team leads Renton's comprehensive tree canopy strategy, including all citywide planting efforts. As the city continues to address heat exposure, stormwater challenges, and shifting climate conditions, expanding and investing in this program presents a significant opportunity. Strategic tree planting and long-term canopy preservation can meaningfully reduce heat island effects, improve stormwater mitigation, enhance neighborhood livability, and support the economic attractiveness of Renton. Research consistently shows that communities with a healthy tree canopy benefit from higher property values, improved public health outcomes, and stronger commercial vitality all outcomes aligned with Renton's long-term goals. 1 P a g � 2-12 PROS Plan � January 2026 Exhibit 2-11: Renton Community Planning Areas � /CI� :-, Renton Urban CENTER ---�Growth Area � � Communiry Planning � Areas — 900 - ��.

SPECIAL-USE FACILITIES Renton maintains a diverse portfolio of special-use facilities that enrich the city's recreational environment and reflect its character, history, and community priorities. These facilities are unique within the system, often requiring specialized management and maintenance, and they frequently serve both local and regional users. Many also provide opportunities for private rentals when not programmed for recreational or community use supporting access, flexibility, and financial sustainability within the City's recreation system. Above all, this network of facilities ensures residents have a broad range of high-quality recreational opportunities close to home. Major special-use facilities are described below. Pag � � 2-24 PROS Plan � January 2026 Renton Community Center The Renton Community Center, constructed in 1989, encompasses approximately 36,000 square feet along the Cedar River adjacent to Cedar River Park. The facility includes two full-size gymnasiums, racquetball courts, a dance and yoga studio, fitness room, classrooms, meeting rooms, and a banquet room with a full kitchen. When not programmed with recreational activities, many of these spaces are available for private rental, supporting family celebrations, community gatherings, corporate events, and more. The Center serves as a cornerstone of public recreation in Renton, offering a wide range of programs tailored to diverse interests and ages. Highlands Neighborhood Center The Highlands Neighborhood Center includes approximately 11,960 square feet of programmable space, including a gymnasium with spectator seating and a dividable multipurpose room with a kitchenette. Like other special-use facilities, the center supports both scheduled recreation activities and private rentals for events such as meetings, celebrations, and youth sports. Its location within a residential neighborhood helps ensure convenient, local access to recreation opportunities. Don Persson Renton Senior Activity Center Built in 1978 and encompassing roughly 22,150 square feet, the Don Persson Renton Senior Activity Center serves adults aged 50 and older with recreational, social, educational, health, and nutritional programming. Outdoor amenities include fitness equipment, a ping pong table, a cornhole court, and seating areas. Select spaces are available for rentals when not in use for senior-focused programming. Named in honor of longtime resident, police officer, and City Council member pon Persson, the Center reflects the City's ongoing commitment to supporting healthy aging and social connection. / Pag � � 2-25 PROS Plan � January 2026 Renton History Museum At approximately 5,300 square feet, the Renton History Museum occupies a 1942 Art Deco Moderne building � originally constructed as a fire station. Now a recognized historic property, the Museum is a source of civic pride and a I reflection of Renton's cultural identity. Operated in � � � partnership with the Renton Historical Society, the Museum �, � preserves, documents, and interprets local history through � exhibits, educational programs, publications, and community "'' i ' � outreach. Its presence within the Parks and Recreation j _'I `� ' system underscores the City's commitment to celebrating ✓i '` ' and sharing the stories that define Renton. �y��lE� � � � � �� 7+ Renton History - Museum Maplewood Golf Course �-- CityofRenton Maplewood Golf Course is an 18-hole, par 72 public course featuring a driving range, pro shop, restaurant, and event space. The clubhouse measures approximately 15,508 square feet. Established in 1928 and acquired by the City in 1995, the course is a long- standing community asset and a significant recreational destination. Maplewood has participated in the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary program for more than 20 years, supporting environmentally responsible course management and reinforcing Renton's commitment to ecological stewardship. Henry Moses Aquatic Center Opened in 2004, the Henry Moses Aquatic Center includes approximately 6,320 square feet of indoor space housing locker rooms, showers, offices, and concessions. The outdoor aquatic complex operates seasonally and features a lap pool, lazy river, wave pool, and water slides. When not programmed for public aquatic activities, certain spaces may be available for rentals such as birthday parties or private events. The Aquatic Center is one of Renton's most popular warm-season destinations and contributes significantly to youth activity, water safety education, and community enjoyment. P a g F � 2-26 PROS Plan � January 2026 TRAI LS Many trails are associated with shorelines such as along the Cedar River, Springbrook Creek, Black River, and Lake Washington and connect many of the City's parks and natural areas. This Plan focuses on parks, recreation, and open space, and serves as a companion to the Trails and Bicycle Master Plan (2019). That plan identified existing and planned trails serving neighborhoods, community, and region. See Exhibit 2-20.

During peak spring and summer operations, more than 200 seasonal and numerous part-time staff support aquatics, youth programs, customer service, facility supervision, events, and recreation operations. These positions provide foundational work experience, technical skill development, and career pathways into municipal service, aquatics, childcare, recreation, and the regional service economy. Recreation's business operations are among the City's most customer-facing financial services. The division processes over 70% of the City's annual credit card transactions, manages the City's registration software system, and administers operational budgets and cost-recovery strategies while maintaining equitable access to community recreation. Program and Service Delivery The Recreation Division provides a broad, diverse portfolio of recreational programs and community services that support health, learning, engagement, and social connection for residents of all ages and abilities (see Exhibit 2-23).

While complementary to City services, these providers have distinct missions, delivery models, and funding structures, and therefore contribute unique offerings to Renton's overall recreation ecosystem. Their presence allows the city to broaden programming reach, increase service variety, and leverage subject-matter expertise that aligns with community needs. Renton School District The Renton School District provides indoor and outdoor facilities that support recreation as well as education. The District provides athletic facilities and programs to its students. Additional indoor pools are owned and operated at two area high schools and are programmed by the school district. There is a formal partnership between the City of Renton and Renton School District through an interlocal agreement, which enables more flexible and efficient use of resources and expands recreational opportunities. Partnerships and public use include: ■ The Renton School District partners with the City of Renton to use the Renton IKEA Performing Arts Center. ■ Renton School District athletic fields are available for public rentals after hours provided the activities do not interfere with education of students. ■ Renton School District elementary schools each have a playground that is generally available outside of school hours. The City and School District also partnered with the inclusive playground area at the Meadow Crest Playground in the Highlands. Family First Community Center The Family First Community Center is a City-owned facility located adjacent to Cascade Elementary School and leased to a nonprofit operator in partnership with the Renton School District and HealthPoint. The center delivers programming that supports recreation, education, health, wellness, and cultural enrichment for the Benson Hill and Cascade Community Planning Areas home to nearly one-quarter of Renton's population, including a higher-than-average proportion of households below the poverty level. Programs serve toddlers through older adults and include sports, fitness, music, dance, arts and crafts, tutoring, language programs, health navigation, and other community- N a g _ � 2-37 PROS Plan � January 2026 driven services. The model integrates recreation with wellness and social services that complement the City's own program offerings. Renton Rowing Center The Renton Rowing Center operates from a City-owned waterfront recreational facility under a long-term lease to a nonprofit rowing organization. The Center provides youth and adult rowing classes, seasonal camps, novice-to-advanced instruction, and membership-based competitive programming. Seasonal kayak rentals are also available to the general public. The nonprofit operating model allows for specialized training, regional participation, and water-sport opportunities that extend beyond the scope of City-led recreational programming. Renton Sailing Club at Gene Coulon Memorial8each Park The Renton Sailing Club operates its instructional and sailing programs from City- owned park space at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park through a long-standing lease. The Club provides sailing instruction, youth and adult lessons, community sailing opportunities, safety training, and hosted events. While the City maintains responsibility for park operations and infrastructure, the Club contributes a specialized recreation opportunity that enhances waterfront activation and complements other aquatic offerings. Bezos Academy at North Highlands Neighborhood Center The North Highlands Neighborhood Center is a City-owned recreational building that is leased to Bezos Academy, a nonprofit provider of free, full-day, Montessori-inspired early learning. The academy offers tuition-free programming to families regardless of income and increases access to early childhood education within the Highlands Planning Area. Although distinct from traditional recreation programs, its presence strengthens community well-being, supports working families, and reinforces public use of a long- standing community facility. King County Library System The Renton Parks and Recreation Department and Renton School District help to facilitate the summer meals program at King County Library System events in Renton Parks. In 2025, the program served infants, children, and teens at four park locations throughout the summer in addition to other locations, including Heritage Park, Kiwanis Park, Liberty Park, and Sunset Neighborhood Park.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT The City of Renton developed an engagement plan and strategy designed to: ■ Set the Vision & Guide the Planning Effort ■ Hear Community Needs about Park Qualities ■ Identify Park System Gaps and Priorities Between March and September 2025 Renton Parks and Recreation went to the community at over 30 events and meetings, as well as online activities, highlighted below. WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA Renton Parks and Recreation established a webpage at Your Voice Renton (https://yourvoice.rentonwa.gov/pros), which was regularly updated with activities and content. From March 26 to September 1, 2025, there were over 4,100page views. Messages on Renton's "This Week in Renton"weekly newsletter and email blasts were timed to share information about engagement opportunities and calls to take surveys. Social Media themes included: • "Shaping Renton's Parks Together" ■ "Your Voice, Your Renton Parks" ■ "Why Renton Parks Matter" ■ "We're Making Progress, Renton!" OUTREACH EVENTS AND GROUPS The City of Renton engaged the community through more than 30 events, ranging from hosted gatherings to participation in existing celebrations. These efforts created opportunities to hear concerns, ideas, and priorities for improving Renton's parks, recreation, and open space system. Highlights included outreach at major events like Renton River Days; targeted engagement with skateboarders, skate park users, and teenagers; and pop-up activities tied to the Summer Meals program in local parks. I P a � 3-1 PROS Plan � January 2026 Additional outreach occurred at neighborhood barbecues hosted by the Renton Neighborhood Program, the Renton Farmers Market, and in South Renton, where recently annexed neighborhoods have fewer park assets. In South Renton, efforts included connecting with families at the Family First Center, engaging with students and families at Benson Hill Elementary's end-of-year celebration, and engaging Punjabi-speaking community members. See Exhibit 3-1. Additional photos of engagement events and results are included in Appendix A. Engagement Results. SURVEYS Surveys allow community members to respond in their own time rather than in-person events. Renton offered a community-wide online survey about many parks and recreation topics and an interactive map to rate park and trail qualities. A separate survey specific to the skateboarding community was also developed and shared. Additional input was collected from city staff as well as participants in a Teen Parks and Recreation Internship. Finally, a statistically valid survey conducted for the City's administration included questions on parks and recreation services. Each is addressed below. PROS PLAN COMMUNITY SURVEY The City widely advertised a survey about the Renton PROS Plan update asking about current use of parks and trails, park and recreation needs, and priorities. A full summary is included in Appendix A. Engagement Results. Highlights are shared below. Who Responded 573 people responded to the survey from a wide range of geographic areas in the city.

The PROS Plan Community Survey was offered in English, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, and Vietnamese. Nearly all who responded identified English as their preferred language. However, survey respondents were similar in racial and ethnic profiles of the city as a whole. 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%). Most were homeowners (79%). Survey respondents reflect a diversity of household types, with households With Children comprising 43% of the survey response pool, With Seniors at 20%, Adults only at 31% and Both Children and Seniors at 7%. P a c � 3-4 PROS Plan � January 2026 Key takeaways in the PROS Plan Community Survey: ■ About 573 persons took the survey over the spring and summer months of 2025. ■ Survey respondents are fairly diverse like the city in terms of household types and race/ethnicity but tend to be homeowners and frequent visitors to Renton parks. ■ Parks most visited include Gene Coulon, Cedar River Trail Park, Liberty Park, Cedar River Park, and Kiwanis Park. Usage matches data collected citywide at all parks. ■ Activities at parks tend to be individual trail use and social activities with playgrounds, picnics, and community events more than field sports. Aquatic sports and sport court use are moderately common. ■ Safety and security and availability of restrooms are barriers to park use and addressing these concerns would improve their experience. ■ In terms of priorities for spending, improving trail access, creating new parks, and improving sport courts and playgrounds are more highly desired investments. These were more highly prioritized than improving bathrooms that was a concern under barriers to park use. Park System Use Most respondents use the park system followed by the trail system. The data shows that all household types use all of Renton's parks, recreation, and open space offerings, with adult-only households being slightly more likely to use Renton's trail system, and households with Seniors and Children being more likely to use the aquatic center, the golf course, recreation programs, and Renton's community and neighborhood centers. Fewer use special use sites like the golf course or museum. See Exhibit 3-3.

Barriers and Improving Experience The City of Renton is interested in understanding the barriers community members face in accessing its PROS offerings, as well as how the City could increase community member utilization of its PROS offerings. The most common response was "Some of the activities other people are doing in the park make me feel unsafe", selected by 175 respondents (35% of respondents). Notably, the option "There is nothing about the parks preventing me from using them" had 134 respondents, or 27% of respondents. A similar proportion (137 responses, 28%) noted the lack of restrooms as preventing respondents from using parks near their home. An analysis of responses by residents of different Community Planning Area shows that barriers vary: ■ Cedar River, City Center, Valley, West Hill, East Plateau, Highlands: Some of the activities other people are doing in the park make me feel unsafe. ■ Benson, Highlands, Kennydale: There is a lack of parking. ■ Benson, Cedar River, City Center, Talbot, West Hill: The parks do not have a restroom.

Investment Priorities In terms of priorities respondents could spend $0 to $100 across categories of improvements. Four hundred thirteen (413) respondents to the prompt distributed the $100 across the available categories. Respondents' budget allocations favor improving trail access and conditions ( ) as well as creating new parks in neighborhoods that do not have any( ). The high average budget scores for Improving sports courts ( ) and Improving athletic fields ( ) are driven by a handful of respondents who put all $100 of their budget into those categories.

RATE YOUR PARKS To better understand how residents experience Renton's parks and recreation spaces, the City invited the community to evaluate the visual appeal, safety, condition, and cultural relevance of its parks. Through an interactive map and surveys, Renton Parks and Recreation asked community members to identify what is working well and where improvements are needed. Specifically, the community was asked: • Do you think our parks and recreation spaces are visually appealing? ■ What improvements would most enhance your experience? ■ Where can we improve the condition of our equipment, paths, trails and signage, fields or courts, landscaping, accessibility, and more? ■ Are there specific areas in parks that feel unsafe or need better lighting/signage? ■ Are there opportunities to enhance community's culture, history, and connection? I P a g � 3-11 PROS Plan � January 2026 Key takeaways of the various park rating efforts include: ■ Maintenance and Security: Strong desire to see improved maintenance and repair, cleanliness, and safety/security. ■ Access: Focus on access to and from parks, accessibility onsite, water access, multimodal improvements, and bike and pedestrian trails. ■ Facility Improvements: Upgrade of fields (e.g., turf) and courts and waterfront facilities (boathouse, docks). ■ Most of the comments were applied to parks that see the greatest amount of usage.

More details regarding parks and trail-related comments is provided in Appendix A Engagement Results. Additional Park Ratings and Feedback Teen Parks and Recreation Internship Academy As part of a Teen Internship Academy developed by the Neighborhood Program (shared under Outreach Events and Groups), 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. They found play areas were crowded (Liberty, Gene Coulon). The cleanliness was adequate. Court conditions were not rated as good. They desired more parks, allowance for dogs (Gene Coulon), bigger playground (Tiffany), and better access by transit (Gene Coulon, Tiffany). Community Park Quality Survey A park quality survey was also available in Survey Monkey, with 20 respondents providing specific feedback on particular parks including Burnett Linear Park, Cedar River pog Park, Cedar River Trail Park, Gene Coulon Memorial Park, Glencoe Park, Highlands Park, Liberty Park, Maplewood Park, Philip Arnold Park, and Sunset Neighborhood Park. 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). I P a g � 3-15 PROS Plan � January 2026 Staff Survey Renton Parks and Recreation staff are deeply committed to the department's mission to "provide exceptional parks and recreational opportunities that enrich the health, wellness, and quality of life for all Renton residents."As the frontline teams who maintain parks, prepare athletic fields, operate recreation facilities, activate community events, oversee customer service, and support daily operations, their perspectives offer a direct understanding of how the system functions on the ground. Most Pressing Issues Facing Parks and Recreation System To inform the PROS Plan, the project team asked these frontline employees: "What do you see as the most pressing issues facing the Renton Parks and Recreation system today?" Forty-seven staff responded. Their insights closely aligned with themes identified by the community and reflect both deep pride in their work and a clear understanding of emerging system needs. Staff comments highlighted opportunities to improve operational efficiency, modernize aging assets, and strengthen the foundation needed to support a growing and increasingly complex system. Key themes included: • Ensuring parks and facilities remain clean, safe, welcoming, and accessible, including reliable restroom access. • Addressing aging buildings, dated equipment, and deferred maintenance that limit program capacity and service quality. • Increasing staffing and resourcing to match the scale of community expectations. • Enhancing safety through visible presence and updated infrastructure. • Improving athletic field drainage, turf quality, and usability. • Expanding the use of technology to streamline communication, maintenance workflow, customer experience, and asset management. Representative comments include: • "Deferred maintenance and updates to reflect changing community needs." • "Keeping the parks clean, safe, and accessible with open and working bathrooms." • "Keeping RCC updated and ensuring it remains a central programming hub." I P a g � 3-16 PROS Plan � January 2026 • "Greater visible security in parks and facilities." • "Old/dated buildings and equipment." • "Swampy fields." Management Response &Organizational Alignment This feedback was provided by frontline team members reflecting the operational perspective of those who directly steward Renton's parks, facilities, and recreation programs. Their insights reaffirm that sustaining a high-quality parks system requires parallel investment in: • Employees—ensuring staff input continues to inform decision-making, operational planning, and resource allocation. • Technology— modernizing communication tools, maintenance systems, customer service platforms, and facility operations. • Operational Infrastructure— updating internal processes and organizational tools to match the quality and expectations of the physical park system. Management acknowledges these themes and recognizes that modernizing operations is essential to fully realizing the potential of an updated and high-performing park system. As the community seeks improved fields, safer parks, accessible amenities, and diverse recreation opportunities, the internal systems that support these outcomes must evolve alongside them. Community Needs Identified by Staff Staff were also asked: "What do you think community members want or need in the Renton Parks and Recreation system?" Their responses closely mirrored community survey results. Examples of staff perspectives include: • More pickleball courts, dog parks, bird-watching areas, and community gardens. • Additional amenities such as benches, tables, grills, and activity space. • Higher-quality, more accessible athletic fields. • Safer, better lit, and more connected trail systems. • A desire for fewer encampments and improved safety in parks. I Page � 3-17 PROS Plan � January 2026 Summary Feedback from frontline employees and the community largely converges, emphasizing shared priorities around safety, modernization, reinvestment in aging assets, and improving user experience. The PROS Plan integrates these insights to guide resource allocation, operational updates, and capital planning. This alignment positions Renton to invest not only in parks and facilities, but also in the people and systems that sustain them. SKATEBOARDING SURVEY City staff shared an online survey to gather input specifically on the skate park and skateboarding in Renton. 53 respondents participated throughout summer 2025. There was strong interest in creation of an official skate park under I-405, providing more citywide skating opportunities and culture, and expanding current formal and informal facilities like Liberty Park. Some respondents saw crime as a threat to safety and skating culture in Renton and others mentioned that they would like to see more skate park lighting later into nighttime hours. COMMUNITY STATISTICALLY VALID SURVEY A citywide survey conducted every two years to hear input on a full gamut of city services included questions about parks and recreation. The survey was conducted in mid-2025 and had 576 participants. The survey is statistically valid. Findings and takeaways include: Satisfaction ■ Six in 10 residents give high marks to City parks and outdoor recreation opportunities and a similar number feel their tax dollars are being used responsibly regarding Parks and Recreation maintenance and services. ■ Renton's special events remain a valued part of civic life with three-quarters feeling these events build sense of community, highlight Renton's diversity, and are a good use of public resources. Most important priorities: ■ Safety and Security: Safety along trails is an area of improvement ■ Walkability: Higher priority for residents under 55, homeowners, and middle-to- high income households � Pag � 3-18 PROS Plan � January 2026 Other key findings: ■ 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. ■ Renton's most popular activities center around getting outside, such as to a park, hiking, or attending the Farmer's Market. KEY ENGAGEMENT FINDINGS A summary of engagement activities and findings are shared on the following pages and are woven into plan recommendations in Chapters 5 and 6. COMMISSIONS AND COUNCIL In Summer 2025, Renton Parks and Recreation shared the PROS Plan update process and engagement opportunities with: ■ City Council Community Services Committee ■ Senior Advisory Board ■ Parks Commission ■ Equity Commission Prior to adoption, the Draft PROS Plan was shared with: • Parks Commission ■ Equity Commission ■ Planning Commission for review and a hearing ■ City Council Planning and Development Committee ■ City Council Committee of the Whole ■ City Council for consideration and adoption The plan must be adopted by the Renton City Council and transmitted to RCO before March 1, 2026, per RCO guidance.

P a g e � 3-23 PROS Plan � January 2026 COMPARISON TO OTHER CITIES Benchmarking compares Renton's park system to national and local agencies that are similar in size to assess Renton's performance. Kent is a larger community abutting Renton with similar funding challenges for parks. Bellevue and Tacoma (Parks Tacoma) are also large communities with accredited park systems and greater funding for their systems. In terms of total acres, the City's level per 1,000 population is similar to the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) median for all park systems. However, excluding natural areas and undeveloped lands, the City's acres per 1,000 is less than those of peer communities including Kent, Bellevue, and Tacoma. See Exhibit 3-16. Based on the number of active or developed parks (excluding natural area parks), the population served per park is similar to the national median and to Bellevue and Kent. Parks Tacoma serves more people per park than other examples. See Exhibit 3-17.

There could be more demand in Renton for this. Diamond field provision (e.g., baseball/softball) is similar to other communities, but slightly more people served than the NRPA.While Renton has a variety of sports fields, they may not be of the highest quality in terms of condition. Pickleball court provision is at a better than median level since more were added at Talbot Hill Reservoir Park and Liberty Park in 2025. See Exhibit 3-19.

P a g � � 3-28 PROS Plan � January 2026 RECREATION TRENDS Findings from national, state, and county sources provide context on recreation trends: ■ Recreation Magazine publishes a survey report every few years on national recreation trends. ■ The Washington State Recreation and Conservation Plan includes a survey of state residents on recreation needs, including results at the county level. ■ The 2019 State of Play: Seattle-King County Report examined county-level needs for youth physical activity. Exhibit 3-24 describes key findings from these sources and Exhibit 3-25 summarizes overarching themes. Facilities trends include family activities, sports and fitness, gathering spaces, special use facilities, access to green space, walking and biking, and water access, as well as support facilities like restrooms. Programming for environmental education and stewardship, sports and fitness, youth programs, and mind-body balance has been a trend, as well as a focus on program accessibility and community events.

P a g � � 3-30 PROS Plan � January 2026 GAPS IN THE SYSTEM While Renton has parks distributed throughout the city, some Community Planning Areas have better park access than others. Gaps in the system are based on physical proximity to parks and the quality of those parks. Some areas also may have greater need based on population density and health and social characteristics. A series of indices help point to where investment is needed in the form of park improvements, new amenities, and new parks. PARK QUALITY AND ACCESS Park quality and park access are two factors that make up a broader Access Index. Quality considers the condition of parks as well as how"complete"they are in terms of amenities, while access considers walking distance to parks. This index helps the City understand where improvements may be needed to improve residents' access to parks and recreation and which Community Planning Areas may need greater investment. QUALITY Measuring quality, or"amenity value,"' can help the City understand where new and improved amenities in existing parks may be most needed. Amenity value is based on both the condition of existing amenities and the "completeness" of a park. Condition Park condition is one component of amenity value. For example, two neighborhoods could both have sports fields nearby, but if one field is in poor condition and one is in great condition, the neighborhoods do not have equal access to sports fields. Based on information collected from park visits, staff input, and community feedback, all amenities in Renton parks received a score to indicate how well they are performing in terms of condition. This included features in three categories: recreation amenities, perceptions of safety, and ADA accessibility (Exhibit 3-26). Amenity scores were then used to calculate an overall score for each park. Higher scores indicate better condition.

Completeness Park completeness is another aspect of amenity value and refers to whether a park is developed to meet the minimum standards for its classification. For example, a park may be classified as a community park but not yet have the amenities that would typically define a community park. This park would not be considered complete. N a g _ � 3-35 PROS Plan � January 2026 Completeness of each park was determined on a scale of undeveloped to complete: ■ Undeveloped ■ 1: Partial completion. Does not meet minimum standards for park class. • 2: Meets minimum standards. Further implementation of master plan needed. • 3: Complete to expected standards and master plan. Standards for each park classification are described in Chapter 5 Parks, Recreation,and Natural Areas System Strategies. Amenity Value Amenity value takes into consideration a park's completeness scores and condition scores. Some Community Planning Areas have higher average amenity values than others (Exhibit 3-29). For example, Benson, Cedar River, Kennydale, Valley, and West Hill have lower scores; City Center, Highlands, and Talbot have the highest scores; and other areas have more moderate scores.

P a g � 3-37 PROS Plan � January 2026 When reviewed by park classification, regional parks perform the highest, with Gene Coulon Park as the only regional park (Exhibit 3-30). Urban plazas and natural area parks score the lowest. Neighborhood parks and community parks also score somewhat low. Special use parks and corridors score moderately.

Findings suggest that, while most Community Planning Areas have access to a range of parks, many of the parks in Benson, Cedar River, Kennydale, Valley, and West Hill either have condition issues or are not yet fully developed. More investment is needed to maximize the usability of existing parks, including upgrades and repairs and the development of new amenities. P a g F � 3-38 PROS Plan � January 2026 PARK ACCESS Measuring park access can help the City understand where new parks may be most needed, either on existing undeveloped properties, with new acquisitions, or partnerships, such as with other public agencies. An Access Index score, shown in Exhibit 3-31, Exhibit 3-32, and Exhibit 3-33, considers the distribution of developed and undeveloped parks and natural areas, with park condition and amenity value factored in. Exhibit 3-31 shows how access differs when only considering developed parks. Exhibit 3-32 shows the same Access Index but includes both developed parks and natural areas. Exhibit 3-33 also includes undeveloped parks and natural areas. Differences in the maps show how undeveloped properties could fill gaps in the system if developed. Gaps would primarily be filled in parts of Talbot, East Plateau, and Kennydale if undeveloped properties were developed. However, parts of West Hill, Talbot, Benson, and East Plateau would still show low park access, suggesting these areas may benefit the most from new park acquisitions or partnerships.

P a g e � 3-42 PROS Plan � January 2026 PARK NEED This PROS Plan evaluates potential investment needs in existing parks or new parks considering land use and population density, social and health risk, and park quality and access. Park need maps point to areas of Renton that may need the most park investment overall based on current and future population density, health and other disparities, and the quality of and access to existing parks. As described in Chapter 2 Renton Today(Population and Health), the Land Use Index evaluates differences in current or planned population density and the Social and Health Risk Index shows disparities in rates of health conditions. See Park Quality and Access above for more details on the Access Index.

P a g e � 3-46 PROS Plan � January 2026 Where there are gaps, some opportunities to increase park access include: ■ Trail or linear park development on utility corridors ■ Use of road ends for access to water bodies • Developing natural areas with thoughtful and context-sensitive features, such as trails • Partnerships with other governments or agencies like King County ■ Partnership with Renton School District updated to include use of school grounds during after-school hours, expanding upon existing interlocal agreement The map below (Exhibit 3-38) shows a number of possible sites that could provide opportunities following more detailed review. r� a g � � 3-47 PROS Plan � January 2026 Exhibit 3-38.

P a g t � 3-48 PROS Plan � January 2026 EXISTING FACILITY DEMAND For some of the City's park facilities, there is already more demand than capacity. Examples of known bottlenecks in the system during peak use periods include: ■ Parking at Gene Coulon Memorial Park ■ Boat launch use at Gene Coulon Memorial Park ■ Parking at Ron Regis Park RECREATION NEEDS The City of Renton is the primary provider of recreation services for the community. While several non-profit and for-profit organizations also offer recreation opportunities, their programs do not typically match the city's geographic reach, accessibility, or year-round availability. A comparison of regional providers and their service offerings is included in Appendix E. Recreation Analysis. As outlined in Chapter 2 Renton Today, participation in recreation programming has continued a steady but uneven recovery following the pandemic. Adult and senior program enrollment trends demonstrate notable improvement, reflecting growing interest and stabilized service delivery. Youth participation, however, has recovered more slowly and remains an area of focus for continued outreach and program development. During the Summer 2025 community engagement process, residents expressed strong appreciation for the City's events, programs, and facilities. Feedback emphasized the value of accessible, community-centered recreation opportunities and reinforced the importance of maintaining high-quality services citywide. The PROS Plan Community Survey asked each of the 574 respondents to select up to three options in response to the following question: What could Renton do to encourage you or your household to participate in more of Renton's recreation, museum, and senior center programs? Responses are presented below in Exhibit 3-39. The most common response relates to information about upcoming programs ( ). The rest of the responses were distributed among things that (more convenient times ( ), easier sign-up process ( ), reduced program costs ( ), among others) and (more high-interest options ( ), programs for specific age groups (children ( ) and Seniors ( , more programs for all abilities ( ), and in preferred languages ( ). Notably, said that there is nothing Renton Nag � � 3-49 PROS Plan � January 2026 could do to encourage more participation in programming and said they already participate as much as they want to. Regarding age-specific programs, the Teen Parks and Recreation Internship identified some desired programs, such as: • More teen nights • Paid teen internship • Teen pickleball league • Teen swim - Older teen separate night (15-17) • Teen night around Halloween (Costume Party) Exhibit 3-39.Things Renton could do to encourage participation in Renton's recreation, museum,and senior center programs Provide more information about upcoming programs. 41�io Include more convenienttimes. 27% Provide programs that better meet my/my family's i nterests. 24% I mprove the facilities. 22% Provide more programs for my children's age group(s). 20% Make the sign-up/registration process easier. �9% Reduce the program costs. ` �$% Nothing,I already have sufficient access to programs that interest me. 16% Provide programs closerto my home. 14% Provide programs that are easier to get to by transit, walking or biking. 14% Provide more programs specificallyfor older adults (50+). 13% Provide more parkingatthe program location. � 10% Nothing,I am not interested in participating more often � 10% than I already do.

PARKS, RECREATION, AN D NATURAL AREAS SYSTEM STRATEG 1 ES PROS Plan � January 2026 This Chapter identifies parks and trail system improvement strategies. It establishes a hierarchy of park classifications and minimum standards to ensure quality facilities across existing and future parks. Example concept plans illustrate park strategies and minimum standards for represented parks. This Chapter also provides system recommendations. Responding to Chapter 3 Community Needs and Engagement, this chapter includes strategies to: ■ Improve facilities and access in the short term by focusing on quick wins ■ Make core investments in amenities that are up to the latest standards, reflect community needs, allow versatility, support sustainability, improve safety, and maximize resources through partnerships ■ Create increased access to parks through responsive and nimble acquisition and development strategies, especially in park gap areas PARK TYPES & CLASSIFICATIONS Classifying parks and recreation facilities allows Renton to make resource allocation, acquisition, and design decisions for park sites. Additionally, it allows for better communication with the public about typical park amenities within the classifications and helps with development of maintenance management plans so these spaces can be effectively maintained. Classifications are based on the size, service area, and typical character of the parks. Classifications are: ■ Applied to each park in Chapter 2. ■ Mapped on Exhibit 5-1. ■ Defined with key features in Exhibit 5-2. ■ Described in Minimum Standards.

Current and Projected Demand When accounting for population growth alone, if Renton were to invest the same amount per resident in 2044, maintenance costs would reach almost $11 million per year, compared to the 2025 budget of $8.4 million (Exhibit 5-4). This represents an increase of 29 percent. Exhibit 5-4: Current and Future Maintenance Demand (2025$) . • . • � . - . .

Peer Communities Comparison When compared with peerjurisdictions, Renton performs efficiently but faces clear operational challenges that impact long-term sustainability: 1 P a g � 5-21 PROS Plan � January 2026 • Renton's maintenance cost per resident is similar to the City of Kent. • Renton's maintenance employees per 1,000 residents is comparable to Kent and Shoreline. • Renton, however, has significantly more park acres per maintenance employee than Kent and SeaTac. • Renton's maintenance cost per acre is lower than Kent, SeaTac, and Shoreline. These findings highlight that Renton maintains a larger inventory of parkland with fewer staff and lower per-acre investment than some peer communities (Exhibit 5-5). While this reflects a high degree of efficiency and dedication from existing staff, it also signals a growing need to rebalance investment toward operations and maintenance. Jurisdictions that invest more per acre often maintain facilities at higher or more consistent standards, and those differences influence park condition, user experience, and long-term asset preservation. As Renton's parks, recreation facilities, and tree canopy continue to expand—and as community expectations increase—sustaining high-quality service levels will require increased staffing, updated equipment, modernized systems, and strengthened operational budgets. Prioritizing operations and maintenance at a level comparable to capital investment and property acquisition is essential for ensuring that Renton's existing parks and facilities remain safe, functional, resilient, and welcoming for decades to come. r� a g � � 5-22 PROS Plan � January 2026 Exhibit 5-5: Peer City Comparison - Maintenance . - . - Parks Maintenance $8,419,171 $10,560,250 $3,362,304 $5,905,694 Costs(2025) I Population(2025) I 109,700 I 140,100 � 32,990 , 63,740 � Annual Maintenance $77 $75 $102 $93 Cost per Resident I Annual Maintenance I $7,342 � $12,000 $9,552 $14,334 Cost Per Acre Total Acres in System 1,147** 880 352 412 � � � � I Maintenance FTEs I 28* I 40 I 22 � 12 I Maintenance FTEs per 0.3 0.3 0.7 0.2 1,000 residents Acres per 41 22 16 34 maintenance FTE *Maintenance FTEs exclude forestry staff. **Acres exclude undeveloped properties and the Maplewood Golf Course Source:Washington OFM,2025;City of Renton,2025;City of Kent,2025;City of SeaTac,2025;City of Shoreline, 2025;BERK,2025. LEVELS OF CARE Maintenance "level of care" classifications set expectations for maintenance activities and frequencies for each park facility. They guide capital planning and budgeting by outlining the level of resources needed to maintain the parks system to a specific standard.

P a g � � 5-26 PROS Plan � January 2026 Maintenance Operations Maintenance Seasons Maintenance needs fluctuate with weather, park use, and the types of natural systems in Renton's parks. The peak season, from May through October, requires more frequent mowing, vegetation management, sports field preparation, and restroom servicing due to higher use and faster plant growth. Renton supplements its year-round team by hiring seasonal maintenance employees; however, recruitment can be challenging due to labor market conditions and seasonal limitations. Moving forward, there is an opportunity to modernize how seasonal hiring is structured by creating positions aligned with job seekers' interests and career pathways, such as sports field maintenance, environmental restoration, urban forestry support, or trail care, rather than generalist seasonal roles. This approach may improve recruitment and retention while aligning seasonal work with the department's operational needs. The non-peak season (November through April) focuses on storm response, winterization of parks,vegetation management, repairs, and preparation for upcoming spring and summer demands. Operational Efficiencies and Modernization Parks maintenance operations are evolving to meet the needs of a growing community and a larger, more diverse park system. To improve service delivery, efficiency, and long-term sustainability, several opportunities have been identified: • Technology Improvements: Modern asset management systems, work-order tools, communication platforms, and data dashboards can reduce administrative burden, improve internal coordination, and support proactive rather than reactive maintenance. • Optimizing Shop Locations and Equipment Storage: Strategically locating maintenance staff and equipment can reduce drive time, fuel use, and delays— allowing crews to spend more time performing on-site preventive maintenance. • Proactive Equipment Replacement: Replacing equipment based on operational effectiveness and site needs, rather than end-of-life cycles alone, supports efficiency, reduces downtime, and ensures the right tools are matched to the right landscapes. • Coordinated Departmental Workflows: The recent reorganization of the Facilities Division, which oversees custodial services, restrooms, capital repairs, and some maintenance, has introduced new coordination needs. Strengthening N a g � 5-27 PROS Plan � January 2026 cross-departmental communication is essential to ensure park maintenance needs are understood, prioritized, and aligned with operations in the field. This presents an opportunity to formalize communication, clarify roles, and implement shared service standards. Safety, Security, and CPTED Parks face challenges related to vandalism, illegal activity, and unauthorized encampments, which can impact maintenance workloads and public perceptions of safety. These issues are not unique to Renton and reflect broader regional trends. A proactive, systemwide approach to Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), combined with maintenance best practices, can help deter unwanted behaviors, improve visibility, and support safe, welcoming parks. Strategies include: • thoughtful placement of lighting that balances visibility with environmental sensitivity • use of cameras in appropriate locations, following City policy • maintaining clear sightlines • programming and activation that increase positive presence • coordinated response protocols with City departments Additional staff presence, including park staff and security personnel, can also help reinforce positive behavior and provide support where needed. Partnerships Partnerships continue to play an important role in stewardship and community involvement. Opportunities include: • Vegetation management partnerships with King County, Washington State agencies, and non-profits for selected rights-of-way and natural areas. • Volunteer engagement through "Friends of..." groups, Green Cities-style programs, and corporate volunteerism, focused on tasks that complement union-protected work, such as litter pickup, invasive species removal, planting, and beautification. • Community organizations and business groups supporting park enhancements and stewardship activities. P a g e � 5-28 PROS Plan � January 2026 These partnerships help extend the reach of City-led maintenance while aligning with labor agreements and operational priorities. Environmental Considerations Maintenance practices play an essential role in ecological health, climate resilience, and long-term sustainability. Opportunities include: • Retaining organic material on site (e.g., mulch, woody debris) to support soil health and habitat. • Reducing pesticides and herbicides and applying alternatives where feasible. • Transitioning to electric equipment to reduce emissions. • Rewilding appropriate areas and using climate-resilient native species to reduce long-term maintenance needs. • Converting underutilized turf to wildflower meadows or pollinator habitat. These practices support Renton's urban forestry goals and align with broader City sustainability initiatives. Maintenance Challenges and Opportunities While the park system has expanded, investments in operations have not kept pace. The following challenges reflect areas where targeted investments and operational improvements can significantly strengthen system reliability: • Staffing Capacity: Growing the system without expanding staff increases pressure on existing crews and may affect service levels. Public input strongly supports improving maintenance of existing parks. Investing in maintenance staff is fundamental to meeting community expectations and protecting City assets. • Maintenance Facility Needs: Staff and equipment are dispersed across multiple locations, many of which lack adequate space. Consolidated or strategically located facilities would reduce travel time and improve efficiency. • Aging Facilities and Equipment: Many parks and buildings require modernization. Proactive replacement planning and regular park and facility assessments would improve reliability and reduce long-term costs. • Impacts of Encampments and Vandalism: These issues increase cleanup needs and strain maintenance resources. Coordinated approaches, CPTED, lighting, and presence-based strategies offer paths toward safer, more welcoming parks. r� a g � � 5-29 PROS Plan � January 2026 • Restrooms: High public demand for open, clean restrooms underscores the need for improved custodial care, durable materials, modern design that reduce unwanted behaviors, and a coordinated approach with the Facilities Division. • Hazard Trees and Forestry Capacity: A larger in-house urban forestry team could reduce response times, improve safety, and better support long-term canopy management. The challenges facing Renton's park maintenance operations represent clear opportunities for modernization, investment, and organizational alignment. Improving technology, optimizing operational bases, strengthening cross-department coordination, modernizing equipment, and expanding staff capacity will allow Renton to meet community expectations and sustainably care for the City's growing park system. With the right investments, maintenance can become a proactive, efficient, and innovative component of Renton's long-term parks vision. P a g E � 5-30 PROS Plan � January 2026 SYSTEM RECOMMENDATIONS These recommendations guide Renton's investment strategy by strengthening daily care, modernizing existing parks, and planning for new parks where needed. They balance operations, capital reinvestment, aesthetics, environmental function, and long-term sustainability. In addition to building new amenities, Renton must also renew, refresh, and elevate what already exists—because visible care builds trust and reinforces pride in place. QUICK WINS HIGHLY VISIBLE IMPROVEMENTS WITH IMMEDIATE IMPACT Operational enhancements, small capital upgrades, and aesthetic improvements can significantly improve the public experience—often at a lower cost and faster pace than new construction. These actions demonstrate ongoing reinvestment and honor community expectation for parks that feel loved, updated, and cared for year-round. • Establish Maintenance Standards for All Sites. Develop consistent maintenance standards informed by National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) best practices and CAPRA accreditation criteria. These standards should apply across routine maintenance, preventive care, cyclical refurbishments, and service response times. Use data, quality assurance measures, and performance analytics to monitor cost efficiency, asset condition, life-cycle needs, staffing requirements, and trends over time—allowing Renton to proactively identify opportunities for improvement rather than react only when systems fail. • Refresh and Rejuvenate Parks Regularly. Implement repainting cycles, signage renewal, power washing, and small-scale upgrades that create "glow ups."These improvements should occur proactively—not only in response to vandalism—mirroring private-sector reinvestment strategies that maintain relevance and pride in place. • Beautify with Native, Intentional Planting. Expand native landscaping, pollinator gardens, seasonal plantings, and purposeful design accents. Landscaping should feel curated and expressive of Renton's identity—not incidental or purely functional. • Light for Safety and Invitation. Implement lighting that enhances both visibility and atmosphere. Aesthetic I P a g � 5-31 PROS Plan � January 2026 lighting can convey celebration, comfort, and civic pride, while also supporting CPTED strategies and safe, welcoming spaces. • Phase Park Openings to Increase Access. Where appropriate, open new sites in phases so communities gain access sooner, even as full development continues over time. CORE INVESTMENTS MODERNIZATION, ADAPTATION, AND LONG-TERM STEWARDSHIP Core investments elevate park quality, completeness, and resilience. This includes mid- range reinvestment projects that sit between routine maintenance and full capital renovation—an area where many aging needs currently reside. • Renovate and Modernize Aging Facilities. Upgrade structures, restrooms, furnishings, paint, and finishes. These improvements improve public perception, increase use, and advance equity in how maintenance is experienced across neighborhoods. • Add Amenities that Support Current Use Patterns. Prioritize flexible courts, sports field improvements, shade structures, comfortable seating clusters, and multigenerational play environments that reflect evolving recreational preferences. • Design for Versatility Over Single-Use. Invest in amenities that serve multiple functions—events + informal play, fitness + socialization, family use + tournament capacity. • Invest in Sustainability and Beauty, Together. Pair habitat restoration, stormwater treatment, and canopy expansion with aesthetic quality. Sustainable places should also be beautiful and joyful. • Build Parks with Safety in Mind. Use CPTED design principles, line-of-sight management, program activation, and well-placed amenities to reduce unsafe behavior and increase community comfort without relying solely on enforcement. • Cultivate Reciprocal Partnerships. Partner where values align and where shared stewardship enhances—not replaces—City care. Partnerships should elevate community benefit, creativity, programming capacity, and park and recreation identity. N a g � 5-32 PROS Plan � January 2026 INCREASED ACCESS BRINGING PARKS CLOSER TO WHERE PEOPLE LIVE Increasing access to parks in high-need and growth areas requires strategic land acquisition, development of existing holdings, and cross-agency collaboration. • Expand Access in Park-Need Areas. Develop undeveloped parks and pursue new land or shared-use agreements where gaps exist. • Plan for Growth with Operational Awareness. Acquisition and development should be paired with increases in staffing, maintenance equipment, technology, and operating budget to keep new parks vibrant long after they open. • Serve Both Today and Tomorrow. Create early access where possible, then build out amenities over time as funding and staffing allow.

P a g � � 5-38 PROS Plan � January 2026 TIFFANY/CASCADE STORMWATER PARKS Ginger Creek is a tributary to the Cedar River, but sections of the creek run through an aging pipe system located in Tiffany Park, Cascade Park, and residential neighborhoods. During heavy rains the aging pipe overflows, causing flooding in parts of Cascade Park. The City's Ginger Creek Subbasin Plan has identified opportunities to address flooding and reduce the impact of urbanization on Ginger Creek by exploring concepts of "Stormwater Parks" at Tiffany Park and Cascade Park, and additional pipe replacements. Stormwater parks are an example of a facility that treats stormwater and provides recreation opportunities.

CAPITAL 1 M PROVEM ENT AND PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION PLAN PROS Plan � January 2026 This chapter describes Renton's current capital funding sources and potential funding options. It also describes how the capital facility plan will meet the community needs and priorities in alignment with the Plan Vision. The chapter also identifies strategies to maintain, fund, and provide recreation programming to Renton residents and visitors. KEY PRIORITI ES CAPITAL LEVELS OF SERVICE A"level of service" (LOS) refers to the amount and quality of parks, trails, and open space that are necessary to meet current and future needs. LOS standards are used to guide how facilities or services may need to be expanded as the population grows. A LOS helps establish a capital facility program. Costs and revenue can be matched, and projects phased to help achieve the planned LOS. LOS policies or standards are locally established and set by each community. Levels of service are often related to a unit of population, e.g., acres of parks or miles of trail per 1,000 population. In addition to quantity-based LOS measures, communities often consider quality and extent (distribution). Communities may define one or more LOS measures for their systems. This PROS Plan recommends investing in multiple park system aspects described below and illustrated in Exhibit 6-1: IPa , � 6-1 PROS Plan � January 2026 Exhibit 6-1: Level of Service Components . -. � - . . - . � (/��I ,i ��„ Improve Quality ��°_- � ,.�t � , �; ��". �! ... i1��i �� _�� / �1 I �'�- r ,+A1 .e '�� e..Ma.;;. , �. l��' �. i— In .0.

The multiple facets of Park system levels of service include: ■ Improve quality through capital replacement and levels of maintenance care. This supports usability and safety. Addressing Quality: Improving quality would happen system wide through preservation, capital replacement, and sustainability projects or programs. A number of site-specific and systemwide projects and costs are identified to address quality. P a c � 6-2 PROS Plan � January 2026 ■ Respond to growth by investing in active and passive facilities at a similar rate as enjoyed today and moving park sites towards completeness of their park classification standards. Adding capacity by adding active (sports) and passive (family or individual recreation) on existing sites would be eligible for park impact fees. Addressing Investment and Response to Growth: The City could add active and passive facilities to existing park sites or new one. Based on population served per facility today, the City could add up to 22 family activities and passive facilities and 18 active facilities over a 20-year period. See Exhibit 6-2.

Page � 6-3 PROS Plan � January 2026 corridors). Adding capacity by opening or adding park acres this would be eligible for park impact fees. Addressing Access: Chapters 2 and 3 identify access needs and demand that could be addressed by opening of undeveloped parkland, as well as adding new sites. This is primarily proposed in Benson, Talbot, and East Plateau Community Planning areas. PRIORITIZATION TOOL As the City develops capital improvement programs in the City's budget, the tool can be used to advance priority projects. See Exhibit 6-3. Exhibit 6-3: Guidelines and Prioritization Indicators -. . Support ■ Improves access in gap areas. � Equitable ■ Improve facility condition. Parks Access for All ' Improves facility completeness. Promote ■ Improves access or services in locations where health indicators illustrate a need. Community ■ Improves inclusivity of park features.

CAPITAL PLANNING CAPITAL PROJECT LIST Fulfilling levels of service, the capital plan focuses on: investing and responding to growth by improving existing sites; providing access including opening undeveloped Pac � 6-5 PROS Plan � January 2026 sites and adding new parks through expansions, acquisitions, and partnerships; and improving quality through major capital replacement and major maintenance. Many park sites have projects that both respond to growth by adding new facilities and preserve existing facilities. The Capital Plan includes projects that Renton should be able to accomplish if adequate funding is available as described above. Actual project costs are likely to vary from the $317 million (2025 dollars) estimates provided in Exhibit 6-5 and illustrated in Exhibit 6-6. Most funding would be expended to add capacity to the system, whether at new or existing parks or trails. Estimated project costs included in the capital plan should be considered project allocations, as investments shown are based on a range of planning-level estimates drawn from: 6-year Capital Improvement Program (2025- 2030), Master Plans containing cost estimates, the prior 20-year PROS Plan with inflation, and example costs from City projects, Resource Conservation Office grant- funded projects, or recreation industry standards.

Renton supports the parks and recreation department as a public good and contributor to economic development and residential quality of life. General Fund revenue comes from taxes levied on property, the sale of inerchandise, and utilities within the city's boundary. Other park and recreation related fees that contribute to the General Fund include recreation program fees, boat launch fees, and park facility rental fees. Real Estate Excise Tax A real estate excise tax (REET) is levied on all real estate sales measured by the full selling price, including the amount of any liens, mortgages, and other debts given to secure the purchase. Renton levies both of the available REET types. The first quarter percent of real estate excise tax, or "REET 1," is 0.25% of the full sale price of real estate. As a city that is planning under the Growth Management Act (GMA), Renton can and does levy a second quarter percent tax (REET 2). Nac� .. � 6-10 PROS Plan � January 2026 Since REET is based on the total value of real estate transactions in a given year, the amount of REET revenues the City receives can vary substantially from year to year based on the normal fluctuations in the real estate market. During years when the real estate market is active, revenues are higher, and during softer real estate markets, revenues are lower. Competitive Grants County, state, and federal grant programs can provide some funding from outside the region. The City has a history of successfully pursuing grants from the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office and King County. Recent grants received by Renton were funded by several organizations. See Exhibit 6-11. Exhibit 6-11: Grants 2015-2024 .. . . Aquatic Facilities Program 2 King County _ CDBG 1 King County Conservation Futures Fund 1 King County _ Get Active/Stay Active 2 King County _ Land and Water Conservation Fund 2 State RCO _ Local &Community Projects Program 3 State Dept of Commerce _ _ Parks Capital and Open Space Program 2 King County _ Youth and Amateur Sports Grant 1 King County _ _ Youth Athletic Facilities 1 State RCO Youth Sports Facilities Grant 1 King County Source:City of Renton,2025. This PROS Plan will assist the City with seeking grant funds, especially from RCO, which requires this plan for eligibility. The park needs analysis in prior chapters also uses similar social vulnerability, health, and access data as RCO and King County to assist with park grant applications. Park Impact Fees Parks impact fees are fees on development intended to support the infrastructure needs generated by growth. Rates are determined through a rate study and consideration of system improvements needed to support growth at desired levels of service. It assumes the fulfillment of the City's access-oriented level of service requiring parks within a '/a to '/2 mile of the population. The City currently collects fees by housing type, and fees are higher for lower density forms of housing than for higher density forms of housing based on household sizes and demand for parks. Renton's I Pag � 6-11 PROS Plan � January 2026 existing (2025-2026) park impact fee is $3,276.44for single family and ranges between $2,222.84 - $2,659.70 for multi-family (depending on number of units). The City periodically reviews its park impact fees. It could update the fees based on the capacity-oriented levels of service in this PROS Plan. King County Levy In August 2025, a King County Parks Levy passed that is anticipated to authorize $1.45 billion across the county over a 2026-2031 period. More than 25% of the levy is directly allocated to local agencies, distributed based on population and equity considerations. Investments will support a wide range of park space and recreation activities. In addition to the pass-through amounts, King County anticipates $60 million in regional trail investments in Renton. Bonds and Financing Revenues are the monies that are collected from services or scheduled taxation, whereas financing is a set of tools that allows the City to move money through time. For example, general obligation (GO) bonds are financing mechanisms that allow the City to raise money in the short-term on the promise to pay off that debt in the future. These tools do not create new revenues but encumber future revenues. Other Funding Options The City could also pursue several revenue sources that are not currently imposed or received. Options for additional revenues include: Recreation Registration Revenue The City collects fees for camps, leagues, events, and other programs. These funds go into Renton's general fund. There may be an opportunity to use some of this revenue for reinvestment into parks and facilities. Metropolitan Park District While Washington State law authorizes four types of parks and/or recreation districts, urban areas tend to create Metropolitan Park Districts (MPD). Authorized by Chapter 35.61 RCW, MPDs are quasi-municipal corporations and independent taxing districts. This means that MPDs have separate governing boards, although per RCW 35.61.050(4), a district wholly located with the City can define the City Council to be the ex officio governing board. An MPD can be initiated through resolution or initiative. As independent taxing districts, MPDs have two property tax levies available with the total rate allowed up to 1 Pag � 6-12 PROS Plan � January 2026 $0.75/$1,000 of property value. As MPDs are a junior taxing district, if taxes go above the $5.90 levy rate limit or the 1% growth limit, they are the first to be cut (prorationing). Donations The donation of labor, land or cash by service agencies, private groups, or individuals is a popular way to raise small amounts of money for specific projects. One common example is a service club, such as Rotary, funding playground improvements. The City could also accept donations for parks and recreation as an element of an estate. Exchange of Property If the City has an excess parcel of land with some development value, it could be surplussed for private land more suitable for park use. Joint Public/Private Partnership Under this tool, a public agency would enter into a working agreement with a private corporation to help fund, build and/or operate a public facility. Generally, the three primary incentives a public agency can offer are land to place a facility (usually a park or other parcel of public land), certain tax advantages, and access to the facility. While the public agency may have to give up certain responsibilities or control of other recreation services and amenities, it is one way of obtaining public facilities at a lower cost. Partnerships The City has strong partnerships with the Renton School District and the King County Library System. King County is coordinating with the City on regional trails in the city. Other potential partners could include the YMCA, Boys and Girls Club, private sport groups, neighborhood organizations, and neighboring city governments. Private Land Trusts Private land trusts, such as the Trust for Public Land, Inc. and the Nature Conservancy will acquire and hold land for eventual acquisition by a public agency. In some cases, repayment of acquisition funds, including interest, may be required. Shared Facilities In some situations, Renton may be able to share the cost of improvements that would benefit the parks, recreation, and natural areas system. One example is utility corridors; in many cases land used for sanitary sewer, water or power lines may make an excellent trail corridor, such as the City's Honey Creek Trail. In this situation, the utility may pay to develop a service road that can also serve as a trail. I P a g � 6-13 PROS Plan � January 2026 PARK SYSTEM PLANNING & EXPANSION Renton manages and improves its parks, trails, and open space properties through several activities described below and in Exhibit 6-12: • Holdings,Acquisitions: Holding and managing properties until funding and resources are available to improve the property. Negotiating acquisitions or partnerships for public access based on need and opportunity. • Project Studies, Master Plans, Partnerships: Preparing feasibility studies to understand opportunities and constraints such as environmental, access, cultural, or neighboring properties. Engaging community members. Laying a foundation for design. This phase may also involve acquisition and partnership agreements, as property rights should be secured before the City invests in design and site development. ■ Design: Designing improvements with experts in landscape architecture, civil engineering, and others. Obtaining environmental, land use, building, and construction permits. ■ Develop, Construct: Constructing park or trail improvements based on approved designs and available funding, including public access to major improvements, like sports fields infrastructure over time. Exhibit 6-12: Capital Improvement Project Lifecycle :�- • �- �� n n n n � Holdings, ProjectStudies, Design Develop,Construct Operate&Mairrtain Acquisitions MasterPlans Sources:BERK,2025. While this chapter identifies projects over the 20-year planning period, funding for specific projects is identified during the adoption of the City's biennial budget. Projects that are not fully funded in the short or long-term are considered "wish list" projects. Some wish list projects are included to provide alternatives if a scheduled project is not possible, if additional resources are available, or if new partnership opportunities arise. While the PROS Plan provides general direction on investments and the type of facilities in a project, the master planning process looks closely at constraints of the property and directly engages community members and other rac� � 6-14 PROS Plan � January 2026 interested parties to determine specific property improvements. Generally, a master plan or improvement study will take place prior to design and construction and provides the plan for building the park or trail. SYSTEMWIDE IMPROVEMENTS Systemwide improvements are identified in the Capital Improvement Program that will be implemented at different facilities throughout the park system. Preservation and Sustainability Renton Parks and Recreation has included capital improvement programs that ensure aging park facilities are replaced or upgraded as necessary to meet development standards and environmental laws. These include: ■ Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan — Parks and Recreation Facilities: Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 prohibits all state and local governments from discriminating on the basis of disability. During the 2025-2031 period, a comprehensive evaluation of parks and park facilities will be conducted to determine what types of access barriers exist for individuals with disabilities. This plan will be used to help guide future planning and implementation of necessary accessibility improvements. This project helps ensure that the city parks are accessible to all members of the community in a safe way, improving the quality of life for all. ■ Park Entry, Wayfinding, and Informational Signage: Most existing park entry signage was designed and installed in the mid-1980's. The signage and appearance are uninviting, outdated, deteriorating, and dates and age the city's facilities. New entry signs have been installed at Philip Arnold Park, Kiwanis Park, and the Renton Senior Center. This system-level project will expand this first "welcome mat" to all of parks. Funds also allow for replacement of wayfinding and informational signage. Park signage is replaced throughout the system either as maintenance or capital replacement when replacing a large quantity of signs. • Park Restroom Replacements and Additions: The capital program includes system funds to provide new restrooms facilities that can be kept open year- round and are maintenance friendly. Based on the PROS community survey, safe and usable restrooms were a barrier to public use of Renton's park sites. Improving and adding restrooms will support public use of park sites. 1 Pag � 6-15 PROS Plan � January 2026 ■ Park and Shade Structures: Shelters are available to rent at several parks. Park shelters in the park system are well-used. They also generate revenue for the park system. Additional park shelters and shade structures are desired at most park properties. Public comments in the PROS Survey shared concerns and desires for more shade elements including shade structures or trees. Funding allows picnic shelters that are aging to be replaced, or new shelters to be built, where a need has been identified. Funding may also be used to supplement an existing capital project to add a picnic shelter, if desired. • Path/Trail Renovations and Expansions: Work includes ADA accessibility improvements/additions, and safety repairs and replacements including heaving, broken and settling pathways, trails, sidewalks, patios, and boardwalks. During the 6-year period work is planned at Cedar River and Springbrook Trails. In the 7-20-year period funds are set aside for other path/trail renovations or expansions and trailheads and Parking at Natural Areas. • Playground Renovations: Playground equipment and surfacing replacements based on condition, intensity of use/risk of damage, and age. The typical lifespan of playground equipment is about 15 years. Work is planned at specific sites in the 6-year period (e.g., Maplewood, Highlands, Windsor Hill, Glencoe, Jones, Kennydale Lions, Heritage, Burnett, and Meadowcrest). Other play areas that are more than 15 years old by the long-term period (7-20 years) would be scheduled at that time. ■ Sport Court Repair and Resurfacing: Repairs, resurfacing, and flexible striping based on specific site conditions and needs. ■ Structural Reviews & Repair - Park Structures: Structural reviews and repairs are a significant aspect of keeping the city's outdoor park structures safe and operating, driving public safety and quality of life in the parks throughout the city. In order to maintain city assets, structural reviews should occur at least every five years on every major outdoor park bridge, water walk, retaining wall, bulkhead, pier/dock,wave breaks, etc. Identified repairs or replacements are then designed and executed. This project includes budget for the structural engineering reviews and an estimated amount for engineering designs and implementation of repairs, based on structural review recommendations. A proportional share of funding is assumed in the 7-20-year period as for the 6- year period. 1 Pag � 6-16 PROS Plan � January 2026 ■ Stormwater Parks/Stormwater Management: The Capital Improvement Program addresses funding for drainage systems that may need modernization to meet new requirements or to address ongoing drainage concerns, and where feasible to incorporate recreation and open space elements like stormwater parks. • System wide Upgrade to Water Management— Irrigation System: A thorough upgrade to the park system's current irrigation systems would support basic maintenance and operational needs, as well as help the City meet sustainability goals around water use and conservation, particularly if there is greater operational control over the system as a whole. Trails, Sports and Special Use Facilities Through the PROS survey and park ratings process, public needs and desires included adding and improving trailheads and trails based on the City's Renton Trails And Bicycle Master Plan. In addition, public input included desires for a variety of special uses or sports facilities, such as: ■ Community Gardens ■ Dog Parks ■ Sport Courts (e.g., pickleball, tennis, futsal, basketball, volleyball) ■ Alternative Sports: Disc Golf, Skate Dots or Parks, and Mountain Bike and Skills Area facilities The Capital Projects List includes a general fund for each of these. As opportunities arise, these facilities could be added to existing parks over the 6 and 20-year periods. RECREATION PROGRAM COMMUNITY NEEDS AND PROGRAMS Renton is the largest public provider of recreation programs in the city and offers programs serving the public across all ages and abilities. Renton's programs have grown in usage, recovering after the pandemic, particularly for adults and for the aquatic program, though youth programs overall have dropped. The survey, described in Chapter 4 Community Needs and Appendix A. Engagement Results, included a question asking what the City could do to encourage participation in recreation, museum, and senior center programs. Community survey results show that I P a g � 6-17 PROS Plan � January 2026 residents are eager to engage more with City programs and would do so with greater visibility, easier registration, and more convenient options. Most commonly, respondents responded that more information about upcoming programs were needed, followed by aspects of recreation programming that could increase access to programs (e.g. more convenient times, easier sign-up process, reduced program costs), and providing offerings that are of higher interest or for specific age groups or abilities. Investing in a registration system with a customer experience focus and expanding communication capacity would improve access, awareness, and participation aligning with community feedback and our commitment to responsive service. Additionally, through an ongoing evaluation, the City can determine which programs to add, increase, or reduce as shown in Exhibit 6-13. The review would consider community needs, the City's best role, available resources, and potential partners.

Page � 6-18 PROS Plan � January 2026 COST RECOVERY AND AFFORDABILITY Parks are a public good supported primarily by public funding. Some facilities or events are subject to user fees (e.g., day camp or class fees). Where programs provide mostly community benefits, fees are lower than the cost of the service to allow broad access. If programs mostly benefit individuals, or are competitive or exclusionary in nature, fees are set to more fully recover costs. In a national survey by Recreation Management in 2025, public/governmental organizations reported a cost recovery rate of 45.3% (Recreation Management, 2025). In 2024, the NRPA found the median cost recovery share was 25%. Renton's recreation division currently operates with a cost recovery model informed by best practices from the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), recovering approximately 25— 50% of program delivery costs. This framework supports fiscal responsibility while maintaining broad community access. A key component of Renton's commitment to accessibility is the Gift of Play program, which provides financial assistance that either reduces or fully eliminates program fees for eligible participants. Families and children who qualify for free or reduced lunch or receive SNAP benefits are automatically eligible for Gift of Play scholarships. Additional fee reductions are also available for participants in adaptive recreation programs and for many senior programs serving income-restricted older adults. These resources help ensure that cost is not a barrier to participation in enriching recreational opportunities. The plan includes guiding principles for Renton's recreation program, emphasizing accessible services, clearly defined program focus areas, and thoughtful cost and performance evaluation. The City regularly reviews its rates and fees. The City has future opportunities to refine its cost recovery policy in a way that continues to promote equity and reduces financial barriers for residents. To support review of rates and fees, the City could continue collecting data on the cost of programs and trends: ■ Maintain a data framework for understanding level of access and demand for each discrete facility, activity, and service and the direct and indirect costs of the activity. ■ Use the data framework to generate a multi-year baseline measurement of trends in access, demand, and cost. Appendix E. Recreation Analysis is an example for such data. ■ Review specific cost recovery targets for each discrete facility, activity, and service. ■ Calibrate fees paid by individuals to minimize changes in access to and demand for services. 1 Pag � 6-19 PROS Plan � January 2026 GUIDING PRINCIPLES Based on the goals and objectives in Chapter 4, and trends and community needs in Chapters 2 and 3, guiding principles for Renton's recreation program are proposed to include: RECREATION SERVICE CHARACTERISTICS ■ Serve as many people as possible for all ages. ■ Provide accessible inclusive programs for all abilities. ■ Celebrate Renton's unique and multi-cultural community in event design and communication. PROGRAM FOCUS ■ Focus on health and well-being including adult and youth sports and fitness. ■ Provide fun, creative, educational, and skill-oriented recreation programs, leagues, classes. ■ Promote environmental stewardship and access to nature through recreation and community volunteer programs. ■ Offer spaces for social connections and family and group events. PROGRAM COSTS AND EVALUATION ■ Consider cost recovery when developing and implementing projects and programs. ■ Provide equitable and affordable access to Renton's recreation programs ■ Recognize and leverage the services offered by partners and nonprofit provides (e.g., Renton Schools, King County Library Services, Family First Center, and others) and avoid duplication. ■ Ensure ongoing evaluation of programs to ensure it remains responsive to community needs and trends. N a g � � 6-20 PROS Plan � January 2026 PARK SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS Key implementation actions are provided below based on PROS goals and objectives, community demand and need findings, and standards, recommendations, and capital programs of this PROS Plan. A. PARTNERSHIPS Maintain and leverage working relationships with other City departments, adjacent governments, special districts (schools, library, utilities, King Conservation District), non-profit recreation providers, and community stakeholders to promote the acquisition and development of high demand facilities. Further develop the relationship with the Renton School District: Increase use of school facilities through the development of a strong interlocal agreement with the Renton School District. Encourage formation of community"friends"groups to help support the volunteer and special maintenance of parks. B. FUNDING AND ACQUISITION Pursue implementation of the Capital Improvement Plan reflecting the level of service standard and community demands and needs identified in the PROS Plan and the policy priorities. Identify and monitor all remaining useful undeveloped properties in Renton. Engage with the Community and Economic Development Department to review the vacant and redeveloped land inventory for the Comprehensive Plan. Pursue cost-efficient acquisition and development of those properties that satisfy current or future park system needs. Identify and pursue all reasonable funding sources for land acquisition. Establish policy and procedures on private property dedication to the parks system. Implement policy and procedures for using grants, mitigation, donations, foundations, and land trusts to meet the acquisition needs of the city. Work with the Community and Economic Development Department to update park impact fees, as appropriate,to reflect the PROS Plan and support the city's park and trail system as the community grows. Pursue necessary funding for department functions including structural and grounds maintenance, facility rehabilitation, ADA compliance, land acquisition and development, and recreational services. Include necessary equipment,vehicles, office, and storage space for maintenance and operations. Encourage and fund staff education and training with national, state and county professional associations. � P a g � 6-21 PROS Plan � January 2026 C. PARK PLANNING, DESIGN, AND ACTIVATION Ensure master plans and conceptual plans include a life cycle cost analysis. Ensure that design principles are established for every park to outline the desired outcomes for the park reflecting minimum park standards by classification. Establish standards to enhance park quality, safety, and sustainable maintenance. Install new signage that supports the department's initiatives throughout the parks system based on the department's signage plan and as resources allow. Encourage measures that improve community and employee comfort and safety in the park system, such as space activation, ranger programs, and others. D. RECREATION PROGRAM ENHANCEMENT Increase social awareness of recreation programs. Invest in a registration system with a customer experience focus. Develop and maintain a recreation data tracking system. Evaluate periodically the City's cost-recovery policy considering equitable access to prog ra ms. Utilize a cost benefit approach to pricing of fee based recreational programs. MONITORING, REVIEWING, AND UPDATING MONITORING Renton intends to track its performance periodically to determine progress on implementation of this plan. Monitoring is recommended in association with updates to the City budget and capital improvement program. Performance measurement is a useful strategy in requesting additional funding and resources.

Source:City of Renton,2025 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN & CODE COORDINATION The Comprehensive Plan includes a Parks and Recreation Element with goals and policies last amended in 2024. The Comprehensive Plan also cross-references to the Parks, Recreation, and Natural Areas Plan, which this PROS plan replaces, in the Capital Facilities Element. The Comprehensive Plan is largely consistent with this PROS Plan, though less detailed. A future goal could include aligning the Comprehensive Plan and N a g � 6-24 PROS Plan � January 2026 PROS Plan policies, capital program, and impact fees to more fully reflect the content of the PROS Plan and avoid any disconnect between the two documents. r� a g � 6-25 I � i� � '�� I S \ �:�. .I�+1 ^ � �`,� �y�'�i�/�N! �`�y�. .. - . � 1 r �4� �`��1 � .I �� . �,�.��,I � � i �'. � �,. i � � `�� ,��Y�� p� �'� ��r• , �; � y �„f,l �}: ��l �'1 -,C �``<�� ;:�, .i ��- � �'�� ,s�i ' t ,� ' / !l � �r� � j '' � � �"� �� 1 /y �, . � �"�� j � � = :� �f�, q �}�,�'is� /��,�...r_ 'il ��,i�t� V �,. . �4�,,.Qy..� �' � Y,�.�.� ,_�'T�.. �r� � �%r I i 1, � ' �f '.y4 iZ.s� _ �!r+ �; f,�;l� �F''E,�=/ - r �a� ��, r '4��si . ��' � �lr�� .��,� t-. `� ...

They support health, community connection, environmental resilience, and quality of life for all residents. This PROS Plan reaffirms the City's commitment to providing a high-quality, welcoming, and sustainable park system that reflects community priorities and meets the needs of a growing, diverse population. Through an extensive analysis of park conditions, amenities, access, recreation trends, and population projections, paired with robust community engagement, this PROS Plan establishes a clear and actionable path forward. More than 5,000 residents contributed perspectives during this process, and their voices shaped the vision and roadmap this plan presents. Community members consistently expressed a desire for accessible, connected, clean, safe, green, well-maintained parks and modern facilities that support gathering, play, recreation, and nature. This plan responds directly to that guidance. A COMMITMENT TO QUALITY AND STEWARDSH 1 P The PROS Plan underscores the City's responsibility to steward public lands thoughtfully and proactively. Renton's 58 parks, natural areas, trails, and recreation facilities comprise a system that must serve today's users and adapt to tomorrow's needs. As the City grows in population,jobs, and housing density, investments in parks and recreation will play an increasingly vital role in community health, livability, and environmental resilience. Ensuring a high-quality system requires a focus on: ■ Reinforcing and revitalizing aging assets ■ Bringing parks into alignment with classification standards ■ Designing facilities for long-term sustainability and versatility ■ Enhancing safety, accessibility, and ADA compliance ■ Maintaining the natural systems that define Renton's landscape Together, these efforts support a system that feels cared for, dependable, and inviting. They reflect the pride and stewardship that the community expects and deserves. IPa � 7-1 PROS Plan � January 2026 A PLAN GUIDED BY COMMUNITY VALUES Every recommendation in this plan is rooted in community priorities and guided by the Vision and Framework Principles. These principles center on promoting community health, supporting equitable access, strengthening environmental resilience, and stewarding resources responsibly. They serve as the foundation for decisions about design, maintenance, programming, development, and reinvestment. Neighborhood-specific needs, identified through detailed analyses of access, conditions, and amenities, ensure that future improvements advance equity and reflect the unique character of each area. Investments guided by this plan will deliver the greatest benefit in the places where need is highest and opportunity is greatest. A ROADMAP FOR THE FUTURE The PROS Plan serves as a practical and strategic roadmap for the next six years and for the years that follow. It outlines clear priorities, investment strategies, and capital projects that will guide City budgeting, grant pursuit, partnership development, and project planning. With 85 identified capital projects ranging from small-scale enhancements to major park transformations, the plan balances reinvestment in existing assets with targeted expansion where gaps persist. The Plan also aligns with state requirements, ensuring eligibility for Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) funding. This is an essential resource for delivering park and recreation projects across Renton. ADVANCING RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES Recreation programs are a cornerstone of Renton's service to the community. This plan includes recommendations for strengthening the City's approach to program delivery by emphasizing accessibility, communication, evaluation, and long-term sustainability. Enhanced visibility, improved customer experience tools, and continued commitment to programs such as Gift of Play will expand opportunities for participation, particularly for youth, seniors, and residents with limited income. Page � 7-2 PROS Plan � January 2026 ONGOING MONITORING AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT This PROS Plan is a living document. Its effectiveness relies on continued evaluation, adaptable implementation, and meaningful collaboration across departments and with community partners. By tracking progress through measurable indicators such as park condition, access improvements, ADA upgrades, and recreation participation, the City can ensure that investments remain aligned with community needs and organizational capacity. Regular review will highlight successes, inform future adjustments, and support transparency in how the City delivers parks and recreation services. LOO KI N G AH EAD This Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan represents a shared vision for the future of Renton's parks system. It reflects the community's aspirations and provides the roadmap to achieve them. With thoughtful implementation, strategic investments, and continued engagement, Renton will advance a park system that is high-quality, resilient, inclusive, and reflective of the community it serves. Stewarding this system is both a responsibility and an opportunity. It supports the health and well-being of residents, protects natural resources, strengthens neighborhoods, and creates enduring public spaces that future generations will enjoy. The City remains committed to this vision and to delivering a parks and recreation system that inspires pride and belonging for all Renton residents.

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 statisticallyvalid 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 illustratingthe map pins.

Improvement of parks and buildings Can the city look into making this park(ess 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.

See the Renton PROS Community Survey Summary for more details (part 2 of the Engagement Appendix). Date:April2, 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 � 8 A full set of results are included in Renton PROS Community Survey Appendix. Park Quality Surve�[ Youth Park Quality Assessment As part of a Teen Internship Academy developed bythe Neighborhood Program (shared under Outreach Events and Groups), 16 teens signed up to be park quality raters and reviewed several parks.

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.

The PROS Plan outlines Renton's vision, goals, priorities, and a framework for park investments and system operations. Updated every six years to complywith Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) guidelines, the plan keeps Renton eligible for critical grant funding.The current update will be completed no laterthan 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 PlanningAreas, 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.

PARK ACCESS & NEED ANALYSIS DETAIL ParkAccess & Need Analysis Detail BERI< 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.' Exhibit 1 illustrates the overall approach. Each key component is described below. ' See map and data, for example: OpportunityArea Data Report-King County,Washington ParkAccess & Need Analysis Detail � Page 1 Exhibit 1: Park Access and Needs Analysis Method Park walkshed Current amenity service areas (10 + and/or recreation �.

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. Wall<shed 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 amenityvalue" (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, 2. Playgrounds and Skate Parks, a. Sports Fields (Baseball, Soccer, Cricket)and Exercise Equipment, b. Sports Courts (Basketball, Pickleball,Tennis„ Futsal,Volleyball, Handball, Horseshoes) c. Special Facility(Community Centers, Dog Park,Aquatic Center, Community Garden) ParkAccess & Need Analysis Detail � Page 3 3. Qualifytherecreationalamenities: 4. Apply a quality score to each park using results of the condition scoring. 5. 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. 6. 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 dailyvisitors (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 '/z-mile of the park Non-frequent transit service stop located within'/a-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 showvery high access in the City Center, Cedar River, and much of the Highlands Community PlanningAreas. 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.

ParkAccess & Need Analysis Detail � Page 7 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. Usingthe SVI and Poor Health Outcomes sub-index directlywill provide consistencywith 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 11 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.

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 Cityto 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 15 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/WTN I BL/Ma p/SV2COVI D 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 16 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 17 King Count� OpaortunityArea Data Report-King Count�,Washington - . � . . . . . - . . . . . . - � Criterion Considerations _ Lowest 1/3 of inedian Non-residential parcels are Included in DOH SVI. household incomes also applied with this information (e.g., PACCAR,Commercial Stores).

It is intended to inform the City's recreation service planning over time. Recreation Trends Findings from national, state, and county sources provide context on recreation trends: ■ Recreation Magazine publishes a survey report annually on national recreation trends. ■ The Washington State Recreation and Conservation Plan includes a survey of state residents on recreation needs, including results at the county level. ■ The 2019 State of Play: Seattle-King County Report examined county-level needs for youth physical activity. Exhibit 1 describes key findings from these sources and Exhibit 2 summarizes overarching themes. Facilities trends include family activities, sports and fitness, gathering spaces, special use facilities, access to green space, walking and biking, and water access, as well as support facilities like restrooms. Programming for environmental education and stewardship, sports and fitness,youth programs, and mind-body balance has been a trend, as well as a focus on program accessibility and community events. Renton's parks and recreation system provide many of these facilities and activities. Exhibit 1:Trend Sources . .

Renton Recreation Program Use Renton tracks program use through user registrations. User registration patterns, reflecting use by residents and non-residents, indicate that recreation program use has grown since the pandemic (Exhibit 7). ■ Adaptive programs have recovered back to 2019 usage rates. ■ A new registration system in 2022 included new data tracking such as the tracking adult and senior programs use separately. Using comparable data between 2019 and 2024, Adult and Senior recreation program use is up significantly. On its own, adult recreation usage has almost doubled between 2021 and 2024. ■ Youth recreation program use has not recovered to pre-pandemic levels. It started to build back in 2021, peaking in 2023, and declining in 2024. The reduction in youth participation reflects national trends.The percentage of boys participating in youth sports has declined since 2012 and COVID-era disruptions reduced kid participation in organized sports, particularlyforyoungerchildren (Project Play, 2025). Locally, new opportunities associated with the Family First Community Center in 2023 in the Benson area may have diverted some youth away from city programming. ■ Community events participation has exceeded pre-pandemic levels. ■ Aquatic program usage has far exceeded pre-pandemic levels and has the highest number of registrations of all recreation programming, mostly driven by open swim session attendance. Exhibit 9 provides more detail on the components of aquatic program registrations. Renton Recreation Programming and Services d � C � 12 Renton has three community centers that host recreation programming: The Renton Community Center, the Highlands Neighborhood Center, and the Renton Senior Center. Exhibit 8 presents registration trends for the three centers.The Renton Community Center has the most program use, though program usage has not returned to pre-pandemic levels.

Exhibit 10 presents the fees collected for Facility Bookings, Courses, Memberships, and Single Bookings. Single bookings are for drop-ins to programs (e.g., Toddler Time, Senior Fitness) or for court reservations (e.g., racquetball court). Facility bookings are rentals for parties,weddings,work events, or other. During the pandemic, the centers closed for most of the year, and minimal fees were collected. Fees are generally back to pre-pandemic levels as of 2023 and 2024. Courses (classes, leagues, events) consistently generate the largest portion of fees.

Renton Recreation Programming and Services P a g e � 16 Registrations and Fees Collected by Program This section presents registration data and fees collected by program type. The data is presented for the years 2018 through 2024. However, the City changed its registration tracking software and improved its registration tracking in 2022, resulting in more complete data for 2022 through 2024. In addition, the City began tracking Adult and Senior Programs separately starting in 2022. The COVID-19 pandemic restrictions led to the closure of recreation programs for most of the year 2020 resulting in significantly lower registrations and fees. Comparison of Registrations Since 2022, Renton has improved its data tracking of participation in Open Swim Sessions, which amounted to 34,964 sessions in 2024. As a result, the Aquatic Programs have the highest number of registrations annually despite only being offered seasonally(see Exhibit 12). Following Aquatic Programs, Adult and Senior Recreation have the greatest amount of participation. Combined Senior and Adult Programs registrations have surpassed pre- pandemic registrations, shown in Exhibit 13.

Renton Recreation Programming and Services P a g e � 25 Senior Recreation In 2022, Renton began tracking registration for Senior Recreation separately from Adult Recreation. Senior Recreation rebounded post-pandemic,though registrations decreased from 2023 to 2024, as shown in Exhibit 27.

The majority of fees for Senior Recreation are collected from non-residents, a pattern reflected in other recreation programming categories other than youth- and family-focused program offerings.The fees are all collected for the daily activities at the Senior Center. The lower fees in 2024 correspond to a decline in registrations, primarily due to a decrease in non-resident fee income, shown in Exhibit 28.

Overall registrations are low while event attendance is much higher, e.g., Renton River Days is in the tens of thousands of visitors.

Renton Recreation Programming and Services P a g e � 29 Public Engagement The Recreation team consistently delivers a wide range of quality programs. In Summer 2025, PROS Plan survey results showed the communitywidely appreciating events and programs. The PROS Plan Community Survey asked each of the 574 respondents to select up to three options in response to the following question: What could Renton do to encourage you or your household to participate in more of Renton's recreation, museum, and senior center programs? Responses are presented in Exhibit 35. Generally, results show an eagerness to engage more with City programs.The most common response relates to information about upcoming programs ( ).The rest of the responses were distributed among things that (more convenient times ( ), easier sign-up process ( ), reduced program costs ( ), among others) and (more high-interest options ( ), programs for specific age groups (children ( ) and Seniors ( , more programs for all abilities ( ), and in preferred languages ( ). Notably, said that there is nothing Renton could do to encourage more participation in programming and said they already participate as much as they want to. Regarding age-specific programs, the Teen Parks and Recreation Internship identified some desired programs, such as: ■ More Teen Nights ■ Paid Teen Internship ■ Teen Pickleball League ■ Teen swim - Older teen separate night (15-17) ■ Teen night around Halloween (Costume Party) Renton Recreation Programming and Services � 30 Exhibit 35:Things Renton could do to encourage participation in Renton's recreation, museum, and senior center programs Provide more information about upcoming programs. 41% Include more convenient times. 27% Provide programs that better meet my/myfamily's 24% interests.

Community survey results show that residents are eager to engage more with City programs and would do so with greater visibility, easier registration, and more convenient options. Investing in a registration system with a customer experience focus and expanding communication capacity would improve Renton Recreation Programming and Services , � 31 access, awareness, and participation aligning with community feedback and our commitment to responsive service. Through an ongoing evaluation, the City can determine which programs to add, increase, or reduce as shown in Exhibit 36.The review would consider community needs (e.g., pre and post program surveys)', the City's best role, available resources, and potential partners.

Some facilities or events are subject to user fees (e.g., day camp or class fees).Where programs provide mostly community benefits, fees are lower than the cost of the service to allow broad access. If programs mostly benefit individuals, or are competitive or exclusionary in nature, fees are set to more fully recover costs. ' See: https://communityrecmag.com/how-to-survey-and-evaluate-your-recreation-programs/. Renton Recreation Programming and Services P a g e � 32 Renton's recreation division currently operates with a cost recovery model informed by best practices from the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), recovering approximately 25-50% of program delivery costs.This framework supports fiscal responsibility while maintaining broad community access. A key component of Renton's commitment to accessibility is the Gift of Play program, which provides financial assistance that either reduces or fully eliminates program fees for eligible participants. Families and children who qualifyforfree or reduced lunch or receive SNAP benefits are automatically eligible for Gift of Play scholarships. Additional fee reductions are also available for participants in adaptive recreation programs and for many senior programs serving income-restricted older adults. These resources help ensure that cost is not a barrier to participation in enriching recreational opportunities. The plan includes guiding principles for Renton's recreation program, emphasizing accessible services, clearly defined program focus areas, and thoughtful cost and performance evaluation. The City regularly reviews its rates and fees. The City has future opportunities to refine its cost recovery policy in a way that continues to promote equity and reduces financial barriers for residents.To support review of rates and fees, To support review of rates and fees, the City could collect data on the cost of programs and trends: ■ Maintain a data framework for understanding level of access and demand for each discrete facility, activity, and service and the direct and indirect costs of the activity. ■ Use the data framework to generate a multi-year baseline measurement of trends in access, demand, and cost. This Appendix is an example of such data. ■ Review specific cost recovery targets for each discrete facility, activity, and service. ■ Calibrate fees paid by individuals to minimize changes in access to and demand for services.
