time the Agency must ensure the facility is available for use is set forth in the table below. If

City of Renton Parks and Recreation-TRACK Trail Renton,WA-Exhibit I
Scope of Work
Project Description
The Kids in Parks program will get kids"unplugged" and physically active using a TRACK Trail
that will start at Cedar River Trail Park and follow the Cedar River through the City of Renton.
Program includes design and fabrication of a trailhead sign/kiosk with four brochure holders,
design and printing of four sets of self-guided brochures, creation of a trail page on the Kids in
Parks website, prizes disseminated to the trail's registrants, and annual data reports regarding
use of the Trail. The Trail will provide introductory-level, family-friendly adventures that are
equipped with self-guided materials designed to make the hiking experience educational,
enjoyable and fun.
Organization Description
The Mission of the Parks and Golf Course Division of the City of Renton is to "provide a safe,
clean, attractive, accessible, and well-maintained environment for the public's enjoyment of
active and passive recreational opportunities along with natural resource and wildlife
preservation and stewardship."
One goal to increase park capacity and use came from the 2011 Parks, Recreation and Natural
Areas Plan and is to "increase awareness of Renton's parks, recreation programs and natural
areas." Another relevant goal from the Renton Business Plan is to "provide a safe, healthy,
vibrant community" by promoting "a walkable, pedestrian and bicycle-friendly city with
complete streets, trails, and connections between neighborhoods and community focal points."
While the City offers a variety of active recreation opportunities through its community and
neighborhood centers, outdoor education programs do not currently exist. More than a
passive walk on one's own, a TRACK Trail expands that walk with customized tools (brochures)
to identify wildlife common to the Cedar River watershed. Logging that hike into the Kids in
Parks website increases awareness, too, of not only local trails but also how the state of
Washington sits in the map of the United States and where other TRACK Trails are located.
A TRACK Trail established out of Cedar River Trail Park will start introductory-level,family-
friendly adventures along the Cedar River. A prominent kiosk near the Park playground will
display iconic features of Washington State. The Cedar River is quite unique for its annual
salmon migration and at least one of the four brochures will highlight this extraordinary
journey. The Trail route lies between different community centers and public amenities which
will atso be available for people to explore.
The Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation developed the Kids in Parks Program to get kids
"unplugged" and physically active to help counter increasing childhood obesity rates and
declining visitation in parks and public lands. Finding ways to create stronger connections
between children and parks cultivate current and future stewards who understand the value
and appeal of public lands.

' Community& Equity Impact
,:,
'� The City of Renton is the eighth largest city in Washington State with a population of over
'� 101,000 people. One of 32 cities that surround the Puget Sound, Renton enjoys a larger,
;s
'� regional perspective. Prominent businesses such as Boeing, Paccar and IKEA attract employees
:�
� from around the world and influence the cultural diversity in the City's neighborhoods. The City
,�
; has had its fastest population increase in the last decade with an unparalleled 82%growth,
including a minority population growth of 166%! More than half its citizens are minority
� ethnicities.
� At the mouth of the Cedar River and Lake Washington, Cedar River Trail Park has a playground,
_.�
''' picnic shelter and a boathouse open for the public to take classes and rent boating equipment.
'; Popular for people of all ages,the 17.3 mile Cedar River Trail starts here and makes its way past
;�
community centers, a public library, a skateboard park, baseball fields, basketball and tennis
courts, a dog park and natural areas in the City. Three elementary schools are located within
,.Y
one mile of the proposed TRACK Trail kiosk which could be a destination for field trips.
For some, a hike along the Cedar River will be a first. For people familiar with the area, the
TRACK Trail tools will increase knowledge and interest in the ecology of this watershed and
; provide opportunities for cross-generational interactions, from grandparent to grandchild or an
,3
`i older student mentoring a younger one. Each Fall volunteers from the Seattle Aquarium lead
' interpretive hikes for the public along the River and discuss ecology, natural and cultural history
;;� during the salmon run. The TRACK Trail could extend these hikes to year-round learning
� opportunities.
�
Project Management& Evaluation
� The TRACK Trail project will be managed by the City of Renton's Parks and Golf Course Director.
� Having successfully completed three other TRACK Trails in the County of San Diego's Parks
� system,she is familiar with all phases of the program. The City will confer with educators, King
�
� County library staff and other park professionals to design an attractive kiosk and brochures.
' Part of this design process includes interacting with the graphic artist employed by Blue Ridge
:i
Parkway Foundation to match the themes and overall look of other TRACK Trails across the
� United States. No permits will be necessary for this project. Park staff who regularly maintain
Cedar River Trail Park will include the cleaning and upkeep of the kiosk and brochures over
':� time.
