Philip Arnold Park — Attraction in Renton

It's probably the safest park for kids to play at in Renton. It's definitely perfect for social distancing because this park has enough running space for everyone! It's almost a secret park that no one really knows about. It is located on historic Renton Hill. You'll get a chance to see a view/side of Renton few people do. Historic Renton Hill overlooks all of Renton with views of Seattle, the airport, Lake Washington, and more. Chances are, you'll be the only ones there, as the case today for myself and my daughter. It's a pretty basic park. What it lacks in newer toys it makes up for tranquility, peace, and size. This park is HUGE with an open layout. My favorite part about this park are the huge, old trees. There are lots and lots of huge big trees all over this park. It's beautiful and you easily forget you're in the city. This park has a country/forrest vibe. It has an old-school big toy due for an upgrade, but it's fun nonetheless. A tire swing with its own dedicated area separate from the big toy area. Two tennis courts far away from the big toy. A few picnic tables spread out throughout the park. A nice size restroom facility. Nearby are lots of walking trails and bike trails. I used to ride these bike trails when I was 14 years old. They are lots of fun. I highly suggest taking your kids and/or dogs to this park. It's truly a hidden gem very few...

Love the new remodel, although it has been a long wait (supposed to have been done months ago). The toys are amazing and varied, great for kids of different ages, abilities, and interests. The bathroom is really cool, although it concerns me that there are dozens of tables at the covered area and if the park were being used for a party or event, the one bathroom/toilet is not going to be enough. The newly paved trails are great as well, and I look forward to coming back when it's warmer and the railings are in (est February 2024). Overall this is an awesome park, and you can't...

Pros: Three kids 10, 4, and 2. Enjoyed the mix of mature trees and large grass area connected to baseball field, and also a playground fit for 2-8 year olds needs. My 10 year olds was a little older for playground. But hey kids can make it work! I enjoyed the large space and my wife was able to sit on a bench/table and get some work done! There is also a tire swing which all three of my kids somehow fit and enjoyed swinging for 20 min.

Cons: a little garbage that wasn’t picked up. Older playground but solid fun. When busy not as much...
