During severe weather situations, the Recreation Division follows guidelines established by the Renton School District.
We take the decision-making process on closing buildings and cancelling recreation programs very seriously. Public and staff safety is always our number one priority.
When such weather arrives, the following will occur:
-
Renton School District is closed: all city recreation classes, activities and facility rentals are canceled.
-
Renton School District has a late start: all recreation facilities will open at 10 am. All city morning classes and activities are canceled before 12 pm.
-
Renton School District has an early release: call the city’s
severe weather line at 425-430-6719 for updated class and cancellation information.
If there is no power to a city facility: city staff will evacuate all
customers and the facility will be closed until power is restored. City facilities will not remain open for business without power.
Weekend or evening event: The status of an evening or weekend class during severe weather can be determined by calling the severe weather line at 425-430-6719 or the Renton Community Center at 425-430-6700 (option 7).
