New toy upgrade is AMAZING. Ground is fluffy with some give to it so it's more of a cushion for when kids fall. They have two main sections for two separate age groups and each section is themed. Younger kids section is "music" themed with musical interactions. Older kid section is "sports" themed with a obstacle course type set up. They even have a couple of things that I have never seen before. Such as a swaying boat type of toy that reminds me of the ship ride at Wild Waves that sways back and forth. They have a circular carousel type of toy that moves in a circle that's even fun for parents. Park was clean. In the past there has been shady looking homeless people in the park that live along the Cedar river that's next to the park. Today while there trying out the new toys there wasn't one single homeless person. So looks like the City of Renton is trying to clean up the park. Bathrooms were locked but I suppose that's because of homeless people abusing them. Overall great experience and new toys are top of the line. I grew up in the neighborhood across the street. When I was my kids current age there was just 2 swings, 1 slide and a parked old retired tractor that we could climb on. Makes me sound old but I sure wish I HAD toys like this to play on....
Read moreThis is the park of all parks! It's got it all. Big grassy areas for football or soccer, basketball courts, softball field with bleachers, tennis courts, a skateboard park, a decent sized playground with swings, and a jungle gym for the munchkins to expend all that endless energy. Also the park has a regulation sized baseball field for league play. With stadium style covered seating The park sits next to the library, and the river. It has plenty of benches and tables and grills to bbq. But if you can't grill, there's a Dollar Tree, a pizza joint, a teriyaki joint,(awesome btw), and a Subway all in the plaza across the street to the west. As well as a laundry mat, a salon, a smoke shop and the beauty college. Coffee, a Mexican lunch truck (also awesome) and a convenience store are a block to the north. The bathrooms are usually open in the warmer months and somewhat attended, meaning clean-ish and stocked with toilet paper and if you're lucky soap. But they're closed during winter months and the later part of fall. This is a great place to take the kids and a great place for picnics or family gatherings or to watch a ball game. Best of all...
