The city is gathering community input for an important update to the Parks,
Recreation and Natural Areas Plan. 3,400 randomly selected Renton households will
receive a community priority survey in the mail the week of July 8th regarding
Renton’s Park, Recreation and Natural Areas system. Recipients will have the option
to respond via the mailed survey or online in English, Spanish, or Vietnamese to
questions about satisfaction with the parks, recreation and natural areas system, how
they use the system and their priorities. EMC Research is administering the survey,
and results will be presented to the Committee of the Whole in September. Visit
rentonparksplan.com to learn more about the plan update and other community
input opportunities.
Take the Plastic Free July Challenge! Refuse single‐use plastic one item at a time.
Make the choice to be part of the solution to protect the planet and communities by

plastic.
Preventative street maintenance will continue to impact traffic and result in
occasional street closures.
