Gorgeous well-maintained park. Plenty of space to walk, run, bike, and a large field to play games as well. Even when busy, there tends to be plenty of seating available and its not difficult to social distance. That paired with the local parking (which is also right next to the mall) makes this a great location to spend an afternoon.
This park is huge with a great big moat/waterfall that goes all the way around it. The waterfall fountain thingy is a memorial. Theres a couple of things that could be better: 1) bathrooms?! To my knowledge, theres no public bathrooms anywhere to be found in the park. Why? Its a huge park. It seems like there should be at least two. 2)The moat was mostly empty. It would look fantastic filled. 3) So much construction in and around it all the time. 4)THIS IS A BIG ONE....Its turned into a huge place for Johns to go shopping, if you will. You cant go to the park alone and expect not to be followed by one of them. So, beware. Carry mace or something.
A simple and neat place to go for your daily walk or run. The loop around the park takes approximately 7 minutes to complete so each lap is approximately a quarter mile. 4 laps around and you have a solid 1 mile stroll that includes a view of downtown Bellevue. Not to mention the benefit of convenience as it is within walking distance of the mall on one end, and many other restaurants on the other.
A really beautiful park, especially at night when all the street lights are turned on. The kids’ playground is full of toys and rides to keep the little ones distracted and the park has a beautiful fountain/waterfall in the center surrounded by vast greenery to be enjoyed as walked around. Oh and the parking lot is fairly big with EV chargepoints! Overall a great place for a picnic on a bright summer day!
We love this park. Just wish parking was a bit better. We tend to park at the mall just because its easier.
Perfect park for any occasion. Great for walks with your little fur friends, picnic, or even just a nice spot to relax and read book.
A great place to spend the day. Lots of benches, plenty of green grass, and beautiful views in every direction.
Really awesome park in downtown Bellevue. Lots of space to hang out and relax. There is a children playground right next to it. I really love the water features in the park, including the small waterfall. Be aware this is no pubic pool, its for decorative purposes only. There is a lot of free parking which can fill up quickly. Especially on nice weekend days. From the party is a short walk to many shops and restaurants in downtown.
Utopia park. ate ice cream even though it was way too cold. Highly recommend. many family athletic activities. many dogs. one guy doing backflips. literal utopia. go during golden hour
Its SO pretty. Theres two fountains, there are trees but theyre mixed in with the city, perfectly meshed. I loved it :)
I visited it for the first time. It was pretty good. 1 lap of the park is equal to 1 mile as they have mentioned. People were generally nice although saw one guy high on weed laughing hysterically!
Love walking the loop at this park, its a little Escher-esque in that you keep going down stairs but never up stairs and the slope is so gentle you dont feel like youre going up at all. Really pretty water feature as well and as youd expect from Bellevue, very well maintained. Nearby coffee and ice cream shops nearby, too.
A great park to hangout with friends and chill. Theres a nice playground and a water feature that goes around the entire park. I liked it :)
Perfect place for a picnic, plenty of space, and theres a playground for the kids too! If you want you can also go for a run or a walk (each lap is half a mile). The water feature is an added bonus.
Nice large park with large circle path around the perimeter and nice water features. Often has crowds, but theres usually plenty of space for a picnic or field games. Usually hosts a temporary ice skating rink in the winter.
So many great places for people of all ages and abilities to exercise or just play. Amazing place also for special needs kids.
BEAUTIFUL green space in the middle of Bellevue! Also features plenty of shaded benches and a well maintained dirt/gravel walking path around the park. Also, the path is one half mile for a full lap, so its ready to keep track of distance, if interested. Lastly, there was a kids playground in the SW corner.
A really great park! The park has a beautiful fountain in the center surrounded by to be enjoyed as walked around.
Such a spacious grass field perfect for walking your dog and setting up the net to play sports! You can go to the playground or enjoy many amenities like restaurants and ice cream nearby.
Like a mini version of central park. Has a garden, walkable track, kids playground, huge grass field, waterfalls. Easily the best park in Bellevue but I guess thats kind of the point.
Beautiful park space for walking, meditation, reading and to stop and smell the roses ! ENJOY
The kids had a wonderful time here! Theres so much to do in this park...Even for adults!Its beautifully decorated too.
This is a nice spot for walk, jog and just sit and have a little picnic. You can also enjoy Molly Moons icecream and relax! There is enough space to maintain social distancing! Liked the park and would highly recommend!
Beautiful, clean, and the most amazing new playground Ive ever seen. Not not open right now because of the pandemic but its amazing to look at you can just visualize how much fun the kids are going to have. Park is open grass nicely maintained and it is dog friendly.
To be honest I don’t get the hype about this park, me and my friends came here a couple times for strolls. I guess it’s just a really fancy park with the cool water front, but I did get some cute pictures of my friends here so I’m happy I went. I’m not really a part kind of gal so I didn’t care too much for this, but my friends really really like this park. So if you’re into that kind of stuff I think you’ll love it
Love the atmosphere / great walking loop / nice little kids park / enough space for well behaved dogs too / walkable distance to nearby shops
Very beautiful park! Looks good at night as well. Loads of space to walk around.
Very nice park to walk around in circles and just enjoy good fellowship with the people you share same faith.
Oh I love spending time here. This is my one of the favourite places in Bellevue. The park is so cozy. View around and trees and fountain, ducks make a special atmosphere here.
Great play area for kids. Park has walking path along the park
Beautiful place. U can play with your friends or family or just relax.
Too many dogs not on their leash. They are small and friendly but there is always the chance of an attack. Would not recommend. No cops around either in the event of an attack. Also some guy was sleeping on one of the benches in the middle of the day. I thought i lived in Bellevue not Seattle. I didnt think Bellevue had a homeless issue but i guess I was wrong.
Ive recently started going to this park with my family at both daytime and nighttime. It has its charms thats for sure. Beautifully landscaped, clean, pleasant to walk about, even have a pic nic. Its great! The kids playground area was a hit with my nieces. Hours of fun. The ducks are fun to watch... Just watch out for their little gifts on the lawn before you sit down...
Such a fun park with playground equipment for your little ones as well as your big kids. The climbing wall is always a favorite for my older one and the little trampoline is a favorite for my toddler. They also have a really fun swing for parent and child to swing in together. The playground ground is very soft and bouncy rubber which feels good on your feet and keeps kiddos safe when running all around. The artistic touches in the playground are beautiful like the swirly tree that lights up in the evenings and the giant mosaic toad that all of the kids want to climb on top of. The circular walking path around the park is nice with a view of the tall city buildings as well as a fountain with a stream going all around with ducks that are frequently swimming around. Its also fun to look at all the cute dogs being walked by owners along the path. A very creative and beautiful park to enjoy with lots of things to do.
A beautiful park in the heart of downtown Bellevue. A wonderful gift. Take good care of our parks. Enjoy everyone! Nature is is what we all need to have less stress. Stay healthy.
Nice little B side park. Done in the standard 2nd class Bellevue way. But, you dont need to bring food anymore like the 60s.
Central Park version of Bellevue WA.Small but very good, clean, and safe for the neighborhood, for now.I say for now because I see the nearby keep getting developed and see it to keep getting more crowded and wonder for how long the park can maintain the capacity of the increasing neighborhood.Getting cold in late autumn and winter (duh~) but can see it will be very very lovely specially in the summer night.Very easily accessible and also have a good size of parking lot, once again, for now. But in the summer time, I can see the traffic might get quite heavy.Definitely walk to this park if possible.
Beautiful park! We enjoyed the nice weather and read before tossing the Frisbee a couple times. There were SO many people, but everyone was doing a good job about keeping their distance.
Very beautiful park.We can go for walk,run,jog.One round takes around .75 mile.Ice skating rink is there, but bit crowded.If we go to Bellevue collection,it is very close and must visit park.Childrens play area is there and it has lot of equipments..We can see ducks swimming . Kids will enjoy watching those ducks .Lot of trees and plants in that park. Some colorful and contrast flowers are real treat to eyes.
Beautiful park! Its very clean and well maintained!Theres so many really pretty features: A man-made pond with a waterfall. A beautiful gravel 1/2 mile track. Tons of wooden benches. A large interactive playground. A vast grassy field thats great for dogs, kids, picnics, and fun-in-the-sun activities!Also very nice features are the large parking lot and nearby cafes!Please note, that there arent any bathrooms on site, but there are free bathrooms at the mall (I think the closest one is on the second floor, right at the Victoria Secret entrance). Also, there are a few massive trees in the center of the park, which provides some shade. And you can find some cooler areas near the bottom of the pond, by the playground. However, thats about it for shading, so get ready to soak up some sun!I would recommend this park for everyone! Its very relaxing, having all that open space and peace in the middle of downtown Bellevue. Just grabbing a nice lunch from any of the nearby restaurants and spending 30 minutes in the sun feels fantastic!
Its so fun! Especially if you play Pokemon Go or the new Harry Potter Wizard game on mobile!There seems to be Ducks year round that hang out in the water way. I love taking photos of them!
Our first time here and very surprised we havent been here before. We love it. Parking is a challenge, so prepare to park far and walk.
Great park with a half mile circular path around a big water feature. Love walking here and the snow turned it into a beautiful winter wonderland. Also for the duck enthusiasts there are always water fowl here! :)
Refreshing day or night & just a perfect park next to mall for anyone really. Playground for kids als
Im from San Antonio Texas. Im loving both Seattle and Bellevue. This is one of the prettiest parks Ive been too. I took amazing pictures of the park.
This is a great park. Whether you just want to find a nice spot to have lunch, play a game of frisbee or catch, walk your dog or have a water balloon fight this is park has lots of room. Also close to Safeway in case you forgot something.
What a treasure. Everything is clean. EVERYONE was friendly. I asked where the homeless people are but no one could answer. Well done Bellevue
Great place for all seasons!This is a great place for a walk, jog or a run. Great for dog walking. The area is leashed one. Theres a beautiful fountain with ducks flying around. Winters have an ice rink as well. A great play area for kids.With great views of downtown Bellevue And a well maintained park, this is a good place to be.
Beautifully designed city park located near Bellevue Square with views of the Bellevue skyline. Plenty of ducks in the water surrounding the looped trail, and a very large and unique play area for kids. Dogs are allowed on leash. A wide waterfall in the middle of the park and the surrounding trees keep the city sounds at Bay and make this a great place to escape.
Best place for morning walk/jog/run
Wonderful in any season, love how open it is! Miss coming here for the open air movies. Usually park at the mall across.
Great Park in downtown Bellevue. Plenty of room to run around for kids. They recently did some renovation with an expanded play area for kids. You can run or jog around the track, play volleyball or just sit on the grass in the Sun and soak it up. Very pretty, wonderful surroundings, very peaceful place. It can get crowded on the weekends, especially when the suns out, but still plenty of room to move about. Theres a huge waterfall and pond here as well, usually full of ducks. They increased the number of parking spaces here, parking is much easier now. They also have a huge fireworks show here on the 4th.
Absolutely gorgeous and amazing kids playground that provides plenty of eye hand coordination learning. Park made with lots of modern materials. Everything is rounded or soft enough that theres no need to worry about kids getting hurt, although scrapes and bruises are still possible. Kids tend to slide down the hill rather than the slides!Musical structures!Great design!Seating available for adults!!!
Beautiful park with water falls. Very peaceful and relaxing.
What a peaceful and dorable park!
Excellent well maintained place. Playground, ducks in the pond, great view of the surrounding skyscrapers.
Huge park (half mile circumference), nice and quite at night if you wanna avoid crowds
This park is spacious! Plenty of room for yoga on the lawn or to walk with friends.
This is a great park if you want to walk/run around and enjoy nature. The main path is a 1/2 Mile. Lots of water features in the main park area. There were quite a lot of ducks that were enjoying the water when I was there. Looks to be a very well done new playground area that is quite expansive and has so many fun things for the kids to play on and explore. Definitely will come back with the kids!
Small water falls, ponds around makes the place very attractive and ideal for walking
Epic Park!Bring Swimsuits, extra clothes, a picnic, & a Friend! Dont be in a hurry to leave, but you might want to plan an exit strategy ahead of time...next time I will bring an incentive to motivate my children when its time to go - too much fun!
Well manicured landscaping and visually appealing water feature makes this a nice place to relax or hangout when in the downtown area of Bellevue.
Beautiful! Currently a 3 hour limit to be at the park. It is surrounded by some ships and snack places that are open. Later in the afternoon you can choose to sit in the sunny side or shade side of the park. Plenty and room to social distance.
Excellent place to run...walk.....play volleyball....nice lawns and pleasant atmoshpere.....
Love this park! It’s a good place if you need to do your exercise on a nice day! Perfect for meditations! You can also run or jags! I didn’t see any bicycles tho! I am not sure if they allow bicycling. Very relaxing in the middle of the town! You would enjoy your time here!
This is a beautiful park with an amazing view of the Bellevue downtown skyline. It’s a place kids would easily love with the wide range of things to do here. It has a splash pad, age specific section of swings and a very nice water body to walk alongside of.
Lovely park, nice landscaping and very clean. Positive energy from people playing with their dogs, walking, chatting with friends, playing frisbee and more. Everyone respected each others space.
I always love this park. Great for walking or lying in the grass!
Beautiful park. Nice walk-trail. Have to go to their fabulous kids playground with your children! So great!
You can tell Bellevue has put a lot of money remodeling this park. Before it was a pretty weak park, nothing really to do. Now there is a beautiful water fountain and a brand new playground. Cant wait till they are finish.
Open till 11pm, great lighting for late visits with a well maintained walking/jogging area.
Quality place to go for a walk and get some fresh air. Especially busy when there’s a popular raid nearby or it’s a community day in the mobile game Pokémon Go.
Nice park, tons of space for people to spread out! Parking spots are compact.
It is very pretty. I also really appreciate how they marked the distance of the park loop. Helps a lot with running.
Park is fun, lots of swings, & clean.But, Very crowded on weekends. No Parking at all.Crowded on holidays.Water fountain doesnt work.Swings are always occupied.Molly moons ice cream nearby, but its expensive.
Awesome place. Very spacious, lots of walking and pleasant views even tho its location is not one of my favorite places to be.
Good Place To Walk Around On A Sunny Day
Really Nice place to hangout or do picnic, really clean and huge kids play area, went with my 4years daughter today, and we both had really fun
This is one of the best thing in the Bellevue Downtown, its sight is just pleasure to the eyes; so fresh n always neatly maintained. There are two parking, one in the south side n one on the west side. West side is more spacious n generally we get parking always n its free. theres is big play area for toddlers, n its one of the best I have ever seen.
One of the best parks in downtown Bellevue, nice for walk and games. Summer Tuesday night movies was fun
Awesome space. Really great vibes and an excellent post-covid hangout.
Very cool park! Free parking and a nice place to take a stroll, exercise or toss the frisbee around.
Great place for bathing, swimming and meditation.To start to know what is unknown, everything you know must be placed aside or on the betting table of enigma...
Great park I must say. Lots of ducks
This park is the park to beat all parks! It is huge with plenty of freshly trimmed grass, perfect for a picnic or tossing a frisbee around. The playground is out of this world with contraptions that made me jealous I was not under 10 years of age! There is a beautiful fountain with plenty of chill ducks to look at. I wish all parks in Washington were this well kept and clean!
Beautiful day at the park just gorgeous out
Beautiful and well maintained park at the middle of Bellevue. Minutes of walk from Cinimark. Kids have a huge play area with lots of amenities.
Beautiful place especially at night during the day I highly recommend you bring your dog and or dogs always friendly people there at the park is always clean so if you enjoy working out I highly recommend this place
Great views of downtown, well maintained, a nice water area, and a half mile loop around the park. Can get crowded on a sunny day though.
Love coming here with company, more so with my son, Theo!
Love this place.
