Confirmed from Rainier View Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
City park with a playground, a basketball court, picnic areas, mosaic sculptures & mountain views.
What runners say about Rainier View Park
“Beautiful views of Mount Rainier, hills and very well maintained.”
“Shaded spots to bring a picnic lunch or watch the kids, and nice and quiet the day we went (a beautiful sunny day).”
I love this park! Beautiful views of Mount Rainier, hills and very well maintained. Lots of squirrels, great for dogs and kids!
This park is located in Sumner WA, close to the freeway. They have a basketball court, covered picnic area and two playsets. One playset is for older kids (3+) and one is for younger kids (2 & under) they also have a big field that is broken up with a cemented walking trail. On nice days it can get pretty busy.

This park is fabulous. It has a fully covered basketball court, playground with covered area and a field with a path to walk around. Parking is easy on the street. We will definitely be coming here again.
