Great Park for everyone and anyone. The park is always well kept and properly maintained. If you're here to utilize the money of green space and just vibe out for a picnic or some quiet time with nature. Maybe here to utilize the playground area for the kids that includes a small splash pad. Or maybe you're here to utilize the bench's around the water and just enjoy a moment to yourself. Or maybe you're here to utilize the walking path around the park for a little exercise. There's often community events here. Overall a stellar park. It's close to much and just a great park. read more

A beautiful park in the heart of downtown Bellevue! Love to see the community out and about enjoying this park. There's a paved walking path where people are taking a stroll, walking their dogs, or practicing Tai Chi if you happen to be there in the morning. With tons of green, there's also a good amount of people picnicking and frolicking. I love that there's a rim of water that lines the park. It really adds to the serene vibe and is home to plenty of cute ducks. Absolutely love this park! I almost always choose to walk through the park if the route I'm on permits it :) read more

Bellevue Downtown Park - Parks Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

The downtown Bellevue park is a really nice park to visit. It's great for people watching because there are soooo many people also enjoying the park. I like walking around after a big meal at haidilao or while waiting for my drink at Molly tea, because it's very nearby those two establishments. You'll find a lot of kids here and also a lot of dogs. There is a big fountain with plenty of ducks and there are lots of places to sit around the park. There is also a playground area for kids on the side. During the winter, they drain part of the fountain and set up an ice rink. Bellevue is so pretty and this park is no different! I love the huge trees and green grass! read more

Bellevue Downtown Park - Parks Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

BELLEVUE DOWNTOWN PARK @ BELLEVUE Parking is available in any of the nearby garages for the closest walking distance to the park. I highly recommend parking in the Macy's garage or any of the garages near Nordstrom, as they're only about a five-minute walk and super convenient. Parking is free and generally easy to find, though the structures can sometimes close when they're completely full. Even then, there are plenty of other garages nearby that are still within a short and easy walking distance. I absolutely love downtown Bellevue, it's one of my favorite places to visit because of the great food, drinks, and overall atmosphere. Bellevue Downtown Park is amazing for so many reasons. The grass is very well maintained, making it perfect for picnics or a relaxing walk. There's a beautiful fountain, small ponds throughout the park, and you'll often see ducks swimming around (though probably not during the colder season). In the winter, there's an ice rink, and during the summer it's especially lively with events like food festivals and farmers markets. I would definitely recommend stopping by Bellevue Downtown Park, especially if you have some downtime before a reservation, it's a perfect spot to walk around and enjoy the area. read more

This park is always so vibrant and clean when I visit! The loop around the park is about 0.5 miles so I can see myself taking a run here. There is also a large playground with swinging benches. I also like how there's ice cream shops like salt & straw and Molly moons nearby! read more

We have been coming here occasionally for the past few years, and always enjoy spending time in the beautiful park. There is a children's playground in one part near public restrooms and the parking lot. There are also beautiful waterfall fountain, usually with nearby ducks. Plenty of grass areas for dogs to play. More recently, we came here spontaneously for a public drone light show on a weekday evening, which was so fun to watch! The parking lots were full so we paid for parking in a nearby apartment complex with public parking, within walking distance of the park. Would love to come back during clear weather! read more

This is an ideal spot for a leisurely walk after dining in the area. The park is very clean and well-maintained, with a wide, easily accessible walking path. There are plenty of benches for relaxing, people-watching, enjoying the scenery, or observing the ducks. Free parking is available both on the street and in a dedicated lot. read more

My favorite park , very beautiful and clean Also very nice thebig wooden swings there , I love reading there read more

A clean and well-maintained park in downtown Bellevue, WA which provides a respite for tired travelers who stay in the nearby hotels. There are a number of locals too who live in the condos and apartments nearby. There is a striking structure made of aluminum called Piloti and this serves as the entrance to the park. The park is huge with many parts to it. There is a waterfall that cascades into a reflecting pond, a tree-lined promenade, playgrounds, and picnic areas. While in the park one gets different angles of the Bellevue skyline and Mount Rainier on a clear day. When in Bellevue, go for a stroll here or just sit and take a moment to rest. read more

Beautiful park. I've been coming here since before the renovations for walks & jogs. However, since the renovation + addition of the new playground it is EXTREMELY busy especially on nice days. The past few times I've gone it seems like there's somehow more adults than children in the playground area. It's too crowded for my liking especially when parking seems impossible- either no parking stalls or the stalls are too tight. Since my kid loves the play ground I will only plan to come on weekdays or when it is not overly crowded. read more

Bellevue Downtown Park - Beautiful park but overly crowded. - Parks Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

All these years I've never stepped foot in this park until today. What a beautiful urban space in proximity to many restaurants, shops and the mall. So many people, families, kids and pets were out enjoying the space. There are many benches, grassy area and tree shades. The playground was huge and looked so fun, even for me, haha. There is plenty of parking. On a busy sunny Sunday like today, people were coming and going so parking wasn't as daunting as it appeared. Great views of downtown Bellevue as well. I plan to stop by here more often now. I stopped by a grocery store to pick up food for a picnic, but with so many amazing food places around, just order to-go and enjoy it at the park! read more

Wow this is one of the more amazing small urban parks I've ever been to, especially for people with children. The park itself is not huge, only about one square block. However, it really packs a punch. The playground is amazing; there is nearly everything a child could want, from slides and swings, to imaginative play areas, to a small splash pad. There's also shade for parents to sit in. The main park area is very relaxing, with a water feature including a waterfall, LOTS of benches to sit on, and a circular path around the park. My one critique is that they could have made the circular walking path more level; it's hard to use it to run, and people who are less steady or handicapped might find it difficult to walk all the way around. There's a lots of restaurants and coffee shops to grab a coffee or picnic lunch at to have here. All in all, a great park! read more

Terrific park in the downtown Bellevue district. Within walking distance to nearby restaurants and shops, this is a great example of thoughtful public shared spaces, enjoyable by young and old alike. The park is laid out like a rectangle with a circular Infinity Fountain in the middle, which consists of a 240ft long small man-made waterfall and circular pond and canal. The park is bordered by NE 1st Street on the north, NE 4th Street on the south, 100th Ave NE on the west and Bellevue Way NE on the east. Access possible from entrances on each street, with parking lots on west and south sides, though you can find street parking close by in most directions as well. The southwest corner of the park is dedicated to children with areas for both toddlers and a playground for older children. Plenty of children and parents putting the facilities to good use when I came by on a Sunday afternoon. This is a popular spot to watch July 4th fireworks and summer movies in the park on Tuesday evenings (July-Aug 2024). Park hours are 30 min prior to sunrise to 11pm. According to their website there is WiFi available though I didn't try to connect while I was there. read more

Top-notch urban park. A good variety of benches, shaded and open areas, and water features. In summer, movies and concerts - or even just sunny days - bring crowds of all types. In winter it's less crowded and more peaceful. I appreciate that it's well lit, yet not excessively bright at night. This park is a great place to walk off dinner, have a picnic, or catch up with friends. read more

While visiting Bellevue, we noticed this park and decided to explore it. Shaped like a large circle, it's popular for its big mushroom-looking statues. Restroom facilities and parking in downtown were a bit challenging to locate. It's a suitable park for families with children and pets, offering a pleasant stroll. The nighttime view is particularly enjoyable as it's located in the city. There are also stores nearby for people to visit if they're bored or want to shop around. read more

Such a lovely park! I love coming here with my kids and dogs. They also have a large grass area which is perfect for my dogs to roam around.

A huge park to walk , have your own picnic, play with views of Bellevue downtown buildings. Good playground for kids. However, getting a parking spot especially during evenings or weekends is not going to be easy. The restroom facilities are not easily available either. read more

Bellevue Downtown Park - Parks Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I love this park. But I wish the city would do something about the people who use it for off leash gatherings. I've seen so many children and people chased down. Reports to the city, police, animal control, etc go nowhere. Parking can be tricky on busy days because the lot is small in both parking space size and count. There's technically two lots, but the smaller of the two is more for the playground. Great spot for the 4th of July, just be sure to get there early and pack your own food. read more

This is a beautiful park to spend an afternoon strolling through! I spent a temperate Sunday afternoon walking through with a friend. It happened to be warm in the 60s that day and sunny for once. We leisurely walked and it was decently crowded but not so much that we had to fend off crowds. There were families, other pedestrians, tourists, dog walkers, and more that we saw. We probably spent a couple hours around the area. I'll be back again to enjoy! read more

Went for a peaceful walk. Lots of other people taking casual strolls here, felt very safe. Beautiful view of the lighted buildings at night. read more

Bellevue Downtown Park - Bellevue Park at night - Parks Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

A gorgeous park with loads of awesome water features. A beautiful huge lawn with tons of space for picnics, a walk, and or anything outside you'd like to do. A playground for the kiddos looked really fun and inviting if you have kids. I stayed away from that part of the park and explored the perimeter. The path surrounding the park was dirt and gravel. The water features are lovely. Infinity pools, waterfall style, even one that flows down steps alongside the path. Benches and seats are available for seating. If you prefer the grass I suggest a blanket. The weather is currently lovely to come to this park. Two parking lots for the park are on the side of the park closest to Main Street. Street parking is two hours. Enjoy nature before winter comes back. Cheers and happy yelping. read more

Nice park i love walking my dog there of they had a gated off leash dog park it would be 5 stars

My kids love this playground. Lots of seating, huge play structures, splash pad, water feature, and expansive grassy area. You're also walking distance to nearby restaurants and ice cream shops. They even have their own WiFi! Such a nice and clean park! read more

Beautiful and clean park, the water is very clear, the small bridge is also very comfortable and relaxing

TL;DR: a peaceful place for a stroll with or without children. Keep your dog leashed. The playground is wonderful for kids of all ages -- baby/toddler friendly play structures on one side and the other side for bigger kids. There's even a water play area when it's summer time. My personal favorites are the seesaw and double swing -- I do wish there were a few more swings. Be warned, some moms can be quite rude when it comes to the double swing -- they will literally run up to it and plop their child into the bucket seat even though they are aware there is a line. I also like the swing benches under the covered areas. I just wish there were more of them. The walking around is a perfect loop around the park. It's small gravel/sand, which can be a bit irritating if you have sandals where the tiny rocks can be kicked up into your shoes. It can also be quite dusty if someone really stirs up the path. Nonetheless, it is a very easy walk and is stroller friendly -- not hard to push a stroller through at all. There is a huuuuuuge grassy area in the middle of the circular walking path which is great for picnics or playing outdoor catch, etc. Leashed pets welcome. Not only for your pet's safety but for the safety of all the little kids around. Reminder: even though your dog is friendly, some people may have a legitimate fear of dogs/animals. Please be respectful. Parking: very small lot near the Inspiration Playground. Or if you don't mind walking, you can walk from neighboring garages or street side parking. read more

After a long day of walking, we wanted to find a place to sit and relax. It was a hot day so we decided to go here on a Friday earlier this month around 6pm. This park is a lot smaller than I expected, but I liked the calm waterfalls and fountains here! It was nice looking at it and there's some animals here too. I love watching animals so I enjoyed that and the park was actually clean too! This park is also next to a mall, so that's nice. I'd recommend this place! It's a clean park with a lot of benches to sit at and it's next to a mall in case you get bored at the park! Overall, this park was a nice place to relax at. read more

I took a walk one evening at Bellevue downtown park. Parking was free! The park was lovely, with water winding around it, and ducks swimming happily. And guess what? I spotted some adorable baby ducks that day, stealing the show! Kids were having a blast playing volleyball and other games. As the sun set, the park looked even prettier with lights shimmering on the water. Being downtown, there were lots of places to grab a bite nearby. Each lap around the park was about 0.450 miles, but it felt like a nice, easy stroll. It has a kids playing area too.Overall, it was a really enjoyable evening. read more

This park puts so many others in the Seattle/Bellevue and surrounding areas to shame. It's large, spacious, the playground amazing and thoughtfully, whimsically crafted. Being in the center of downtown and the entire park, large fields surround, as well as a water feature. Musical instruments, climbing, peeking spaces, slides, swings, a trampoline and more! Even a swing where mom or dad can sit across from baby and face each other, swinging together. Another highlight is the bench swings available for parents, aunts/uncles, caregivers to sit on at the edge of the park. Parking is limited but usually available. read more

Bellevue Downtown Park - Busy busy busy - Parks Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

My baby loves this. Now I do too. It's a tiny park. To get a few miles, you'll be doing multiple rounds of this whole park. But it's not bad during non rainy season! Nice, pretty and surrounded by so many sky scrapers. Now in the rainy season, it's more messy walking here. On or off grass. Parking is free and plenty but you'll need to loop around a few times. Play ground area is the cleanest! And the skating rink in winter months was a fun perk. We can walk the entire park in 10 minutes or less. Definitely a good spot for a quick walk.it's also very dog friendly and stroller friendly. You'll see a ton of puppets and families walking. And ducks! read more

Bellevue Downtown Park is an excellent place to kinda pretend like you're not in the city while actually being in the hot downtown area. This place is quite popular with walkers & runners as the trail ground is well maintained with mile markers (1 loop = 1/2 mile). Lots of green space for throwing around a ball and the occasional summer concert put on by the city. There's a water design that goes around the park that the ducks seems to enjoy playing with and can be quite amusing! This park also has a really snazzy playground for the littles that makes me wish I could get in there myself. This park is the perfect place if you need to wind down after braving the shopping malls! read more

Bellevue Downtown Park - Playground - Parks Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Amazing place to walk , have a picnic and to take the family or friends. Lots of space to set up and sit and enjoy the views.

A gorgeous park perfect for a stroll or a picnic! I love the architectural design of the circular walkway that is accompanied with a stepped canal and benches alongside. The waterfall and varying elevation levels adds to the uniqueness of the park too. I favor the tranquility of the mornings when there is only a few joggers and people walking their dogs. But even in the afternoon when it is full of activity, the spaciousness of the open fields leaves plenty of room for everybody. The Inspiration Playground with seasonal water sprays is available if bringing kids. The downtown location is extremely convenient since it is surrounded by many shops and dining options. Two parking lots free of charge are by the playground and restrooms. Another great perk is the city of Bellevue provides public Wi-Fi that is usable at the park. Note that currently small sections of the park are fenced off due to the ongoing construction. read more

This is a very pleasant and wonderful park to take a stroll in. What I particularly like about this park is that you can see the whole park in any standing location. I also like the fact that the walking path itself is very enjoyable. It goes around the park in a oval/round shape. In the center you have the nice big open green field. A great spot to play volleyball, play with your pets, have a picnic, or whatever else you enjoying doing in a park. As an addition to this park, there is another small park attached to it. It is specifically a kid's play area. This is something I would highly recommend for young parents to take their little ones to. It has a variety of wonderful play sets for all the kids to try out and enjoy. read more
