Welcome to the Cleveland-Richardson Park Master Planning Project!

The City of Renton Parks and Recreation Department is excited to begin the planning process for a future 24-acre park in southwest Renton. We invite you to get involved as we create a vision for this new public space.


About the Project

The master planning process guides the park's development. The project team will evaluate the site's unique features, identify programming needs and propose design elements. Our goal is to balance conservation of natural and historic resources with new recreation opportunities to provide a new park that meets our community's need.


Why This Matters

As Renton grows to nearly 110,000 residents, access to green spaces in all parts of the City becomes more important. This new park will help fill gaps in park access, especially in the Talbot neighborhood, offering recreation opportunities and supporting health and wellness for our community.


Project Overview

  • Location: The park is located in the Talbot Planning Area, near residential neighborhoods and essential services, including a major healthcare corridor surrounding Valley Medical Center.
  • Natural Features: The site includes rolling pastures, dense forests, Springbrook Creek, wetlands, and other natural areas. Renton Parks will be able to conserve this natural space while building new recreation opportunities.
  • Community Engagement: We are committed to involving our community in this process. Your input will help shape the park’s design and features to meet the needs of our diverse residents.

    Park Location and Context

    The future Cleveland-Richardson Park, spanning approximately 24 acres, is located within the Talbot Planning Area of Southwest Renton. Situated next to Talbot Road S. and across from the Springbrook Headwaters, which serve as Renton’s first drinking water source, the site offers a unique natural setting.

    State Route 167 borders the western edge of the future park. Though owned by the City of Renton, this parcel is technically located within the City of Kent. The site is surrounded by residential neighborhoods and lies along a key healthcare corridor, with Valley Medical Center 1 mile to the north.

    The site features a historic farm shed built in 1890, an occupied residence, expansive open fields, lush forests, meandering creeks, thriving wetlands, and a tranquil pond. Future park development will thoughtfully integrate recreation opportunities while preserving the area's rich natural resources.
