Confirmed from Riverton 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.
Small grassy park featuring a playground and a walk/run trail around the perimeter.

Small but very well situated and pleasant Primarily a large grassy knoll surrounded by trees with a walk/run path around the perimeter. One large covered pad with three picnic tables and a kids play structure.
Great place for family and friends to spend the day or just to hang out for couple of hours. Nice little park with a walk way around it and some picnic tables. There is also a little playground for the kids.
I found this great park totally by accident - it's not even on the map! It's tucked back in this funky little neighborhood, technically part of Tukwila, but feels more like it's part of Sea-Tac..? It's next to an old Masonic hall, as well as Gully Gardens, a peapatch gardening space. It's also got a ping pong table!
Trail for kids to ride bikes was great for my 2yr old to learn his trike. There were a lot of big kids this day and all the big kids were very conscious of my toddler and had great manners and went around without being asked. The big toy was also nice. There was a little field area and a covered table. No bathrooms tho
