Cleveland-Richardson Park Master Plan

Welcome to the Cleveland-Richardson Park Master Planning Project!

The City of Renton Parks and Recreation Department is planning a future 24-acre park in south Renton and we’re excited to share an important milestone with you. The Draft Cleveland-Richardson Park Master Plan Report is now published and available on this website (Master Plan Report, Appendices). The Master Plan reflects the project objectives, community’s feedback, site analysis, and design exploration completed to date. The report outlines the recommended park concept and includes key details related to costs, potential funding sources, and project permitting.

What's Next

The next step is to finalize the Master Plan through adoption by the City Council Community Services Committee. City Parks and Transportation Departments are planning to join forces to address both the park and access needs on Talbot Road South (e.g., sidewalks). Following adoption, the project will move directly into:

• Spring 2026:
  • Full survey and technical assessments for the combined project
  • Design development to the 30% design level
  • State and County Grant applications
• Fall 2026:
  • Determination of project phasing and next steps based on funding outlook

Feedback and questions are welcome at any time - please contact City staff listed on this website.

About the Project
This master planning effort guides how Cleveland-Richardson Park will be developed over time. The project evaluates the site’s natural assets, identifies programming needs, and proposes thoughtful design elements that balance environmental conservation with new recreation opportunities, creating a park that serves the community now and in the future.

Why This Matters
As Renton grows to nearly 110,000 residents, access to green space becomes increasingly important. This new park will help address gaps in park access, particularly in the Talbot neighborhood, while providing places to play, connect, and support community health and well-being.

Stay Involved

Although the Draft Master Plan is now available, community interest and questions remain important as we move toward adoption and more detailed design. Use the SUBSCRIBE button below to stay informed as the project advances.
