Cedar River Park - City of Renton Parks & Recreation

Cedar River Park in downtown Renton is more of a cluster of public buildings than a traditional park. Since there is a ball field, picnic tables and some grassy areas along the river front, it sort of makes park status. Note that there is another Cedar River Park further up the Cedar River Trail toward Maple Valley. Also, don't confuse it with the Cedar River Trail Park at the end of the Cedar River Trail also in Renton on Lake Washington. The public buildings in the park are the Carco Theatre, Renton Community Center, and the Henry Moses Aquatic Center. From the park is also a Cedar River Trail access, a good start when smaller parking areas are full.
