It’s almost spring break for many schools in the area! While the time off is perfect for relaxing and recharging, it’s also a great opportunity to get out and enjoy some local fun. If you’re looking for family‑friendly outings to fill those extra days, here are a few ideas to help make your spring break memorable!
Outdoors
Sunny days should be spent outside—so here are some curated spring break plans for you to try!
Maplewood Park just underwent a major facelift, and it’s better than ever. Spend the day exploring the updated play equipment, now featuring brand‑new slides, swings, monkey bars, and climbing structures for kids of all ages. The whole family can get moving with the new outdoor fitness equipment, including stations for pull‑ups, sit‑ups, and push‑ups. Don’t forget snacks—this park is perfect for a spring picnic!
Calling all pickleball fans! Talbot Hill Park is the go‑to destination for an afternoon of competitive games or friendly rallies. After some fun on the courts, finish the day with a meal at Buck’s Teriyaki or a refreshing drink at Brewmaster’s Taproom—both just minutes away. For kids (and kids at heart!) who love to climb, Sunset Highlands Park offers exciting play structures and wide‑open space for imaginations to run wild. While you’re in the neighborhood, swing by the nearby library and pick up a book to enjoy during those cozy, rainy spring days.
For a more active outing, hit the trails! Take the Eastrail toward Bellevue and connect to Light Rail for a city‑to‑city adventure, or cruise along the Cedar River Trail. When you’re ready for a break, stop in downtown Renton for a bite to eat or relax at one of the nearby parks.
