It is located in a hidden area behind all factory buildings. Keep going if you use the map, it will bring you to the park. It can be loud sometimes as when the small planes take off at the Renton airport.

Great any time. New kid playground and nice picklball field. A short passage to the neighborhood is full of Christmas installation and even mint sticks! Thanks neighbors! It's amazing!

This dog park is "ok." There were a lot of tall weeds out on the edges of the property, and I was concerned about foxtail (I didn't see any). My dogs, however, had a great time. We were the only ones there for the first half hour, which was great!
