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 will also rename it the "Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan" (PROS Plan). The 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 by early 2026.

We want to hear from you - here's how to get involved!

Mission, Vision, and Goals. As Renton’s population grows and changes, so do the challenges and opportunities in supporting community well-being. Recently, the Parks and Recreation Department has developed a new mission statement to align with the National Recreation and Parks Association's (NRPA) three strategic pillars.

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.
