Spring in to Renton for healthy new ways to play

Have you ever tried aerial yoga? Looking for a new playground for the kids? Ready to spice up your driving range session?

Renton has them all! Switch up your activity routine this spring with the fun outdoor and indoor options to get you moving and focused on healthy living.

Updated playgrounds now open

Even kids get tired of the same ol’ play equipment, so check out the updated spaces in Renton. Sand diggers and rope bridges are part of the new playground at Kennydale Beach Park.

Kids who climb will want to try the unique space-theme structures at Sunset Neighborhood Park. The 30-foot tall climbing structure and two helix towers are the only ones of their type in the U.S.

An updated playground at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park includes several all-abilities activities. Walking trails at Coulon Park will be even better when a new trestle bridge and updated water walkway open later this year.

Golf in any weather

Maplewood Golf Course is a favorite local public course. Tree-lined fairways, ponds and creeks keep the course interesting for players at all levels. And if the weather isn’t up to par, practice your swing at Maplewood’s covered, heated driving range.

For a different type of golf experience, reserve time at the Topgolf entertainment center. Renton has the only Topgolf in Washington state and features 100 hitting bays for playing different golf games and challenges, terrace fireplace pits, food and drinks.

Take to the air

Elevate your fitness goals with aerial arts classes at Ascendance Studios. Beginners are welcome in the comfortable setting to learn dance and fitness movement with pole, lyra (a suspended aerial hoop), flexibility, sling and aerial yoga.

Start new habits

Valley Medical Center offers dozens of health-focused classes and programs that focus on positive health changes. The “Lifestyle Medicine” approach includes programs that help with exercise and fitness routines, preventing chronic disease, meal planning, diabetes support groups, stop smoking support and physical therapy.

Another way to recharge your health: an overnight stay at one of Renton’s relaxing hotels. Spring forward with a fun, restful getaway.
