2026 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan
Parks, open space, and recreation are essential to Renton’s vibrant and healthy future. Every six years, the Parks and Recreation Department collaborates with the community, partners, and stakeholders to update Renton's Parks, Recreation, and Natural Areas Plan. As part of this update, we're also renaming it the "Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan" (or PROS Plan).
This PROS Plan update will assess the current state of our facilities and programs, incorporate community input and feedback, identify service gaps, and propose strategies, projects, and programs to address those gaps. These strategies, along with a prioritized capital improvement plan, will be finalized in the PROS Plan, which we aim to complete and adopt in early 2026.

What's Guiding this PROS Plan Update?
As Renton’s population grows and changes, so do the challenges and opportunities in supporting community well-being. In late 2025, the Parks and Recreation Department developed a new mission statement, guided in part by the National Recreation and Parks Association's (NRPA) three strategic pillars, and in support of park investments during the 2025 - 2026 biennium.
Parks and Recreation Mission: To provide exceptional parks and recreational opportunities that enrich the health, wellness, and quality of life for all Renton residents while ensuring equitable access and the preservation of our natural resources and city’s history.
During this PROS Plan update, the Mission statement will be revisited, along with the programmatic vision and goals for the future.
