With nearly every possible amenity neatly packed into its almost 10 acres, Rainier Playfield is one of a handful of what I like to think of as neighborhood hubs. These parks offer people living nearby a central place to find every type of recreational activity: Community center, tennis courts, football, baseball and softball fields, play areas and open lawns for informal games.
This large neighborhood hub sits conveniently adjacent to Rainier Ave. in Columbia City and stretches several blocks east, meeting Genesee Park through some nice walking paths.
