As spring and summer heat up, so does the activity at Renton’s parks, trails, beaches and such natural areas as the Black River Riparian Forest.
Here are some park and trail reminders from the City of Renton.
• Dogs are not allowed at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park or Kennydale Beach Park. At all other parks, dogs must be on an eight-foot leash. An off-leash dog park is located along the Cedar River across from the Renton Community Center. “Scoop” laws are in affect for animals.
• The speed limit on a portion of the Cedar River Trail was reduced in 2011 and there are dismount zones. Obey all signage.
Renton’s park maintenance staff maintain the facilities and act as customer service representatives to the public. Comments, suggestions and questions are welcome. Trail Rangers will be on the Cedar River Trail from June through September to assist with trail education and report unwanted activity. If suspicious or dangerous behavior is noticed, call 911.
