The ribbon has been cut. Now let the fun begin! 🛝
On Wednesday we celebrated our second playground grand opening of 2026 – this time at the newly upgraded Highlands Park. This new playground is more than just new equipment, it’s an investment in how our community gathers and plays.
A special thank you goes to our STREAM Team after school program and the Renton Youth Council for providing their ideas and input throughout the design process, the Highlands community for their feedback and patience while this project came to life, and our Capital Projects team for their Community Driven approach to make it all possible.
