The Renton Community Foundation on Monday presented the city with a check for $55,000 to complete the Nature Playground area of the city’s Meadow Crest Playground.

“I don’t think there’s anything as heartwarming as this,” said RCF Executive Director Lynn Bohart. “This playground is so meaningful.”

Opened in 2014, the colorful, $2 million playground sits on land owned by both the Renton School District and the City and the playground is designed to be inclusive, or for all children, no matter their abilities or disabilities.

The Foundation previously contributed $200,000 toward the completion of Phase I. Both grants come from the Foundation’s Charles A. Custer Parks Fund.

Custer was the only son of Renton pioneers George and Anna Custer, was a 1930 Renton High School graduate, who worked at the Renton Post Office and served as a postmaster in World War II.

Charles Custer never had children and inherited his parent’s estate, where he continued to live until he died in September 2000 and left his estate to charities, including money for Renton parks.

In the past, the Custer fund has given money for the renovations at Burnett Park and for lighting on Liberty Park ballfields.

The current bequest will “fully complete Phase II,” according to Renton Parks Planning and Natural Resources Director Leslie Betlach.

Betlach said the playground, which earned the 2015 Cultural Competency/Inclusive Play Award, celebrating a program that reaches across cultural boundaries to educate, include, welcome and serve all individuals.

The Nature Play Area will be located near the playground’s butterfly garden and will feature an outdoor classroom, as well as boulders, logs and stumps for climbing and a custom bridge that will cross a dry stream.

Betlach said the area will provide a “respite” for many children for whom sensory overload can be an issue.

“We’re very thankful,” Betlach said of the RCF.
