Sunset Neighborhood Park, Renton

Fair warning: The climbing structures at Renton’s Sunset Neighborhood Park are not for faint-of-heart caregivers. Or those afraid of heights. This newer playground and its eye-popping climbing structures — one called the Neptun XXL — offer opportunities for risk-taking and skill-building. The Neptun XXL reaches 30 feet up from the ground. If you feel comfortable, and you’ve got confident climbers in your crew, they will absolutely love this spot.

For younger kids in your family or those averse to heights, a colorful section of the playground offers suitable-size slides, bridges and climbing elements. There is also fitness equipment for adults looking to squeeze in a bit of a workout, and enough picnic tables to suit a big friend-group meet-up or family reunion!
