    Play structure for big kids and water park in the back.
    Mojdeh S.

    Probably one of the best parks/playgrounds around! We were pleasantly surprised to find this park, conveniently located adjacent to the community center. Parking is terrible! And tricky to come by, especially on hot summer mornings, before lunchtime and nap time. The playground looks newer and is wonderfully arranged so as to give older and younger children safe places to play alongside one another. The water/splash park is the best! The ground is soft, even bouncy/foamy turf, relatively cool on bare feet and for slippery landings. A "rock" wall to climb, a mamma orca and her two young calf, each spraying water from their blowholes, a frog squirting water and even an Ogopogo sea monster. So much to climb, slide, play on and around. Oh! And even a half-sunken boat! My only qualm is the lack of tree covering which makes shaded areas highly coveted and so hard to acquire in the hot summer days. What a truly fabulous park!

    Crossroads Park AKA Crossroads Spray Water Park. Nice place to spend a sunny day and hot day with kiddos. They will have a blast playing with water, running around, climbing and feeling the grass in their tiny feet. Restrooms and picnic tables (covered) available. Parking lot might be not enough in a busy day since it's too small, but crossroads mall is close enough to park and walk from there (maybe?)

    Great park. Plenty of parking spread across two parking lots. Huge open field with a few shelters and grills. Also a water park open from memorial weekend until labor day. The playground was recently renovated, all new. Kids love it. There is also a lower playground closer to crossroads mall. Also a great location that has more shades on really sunny days.

    Larger than your think. Crossroads Park is located above Crossroads Shopping Center. The most familiar portion of the park is the part that can be seen street side on NE 8th Street. Though the park does extend further to the west and north. The part of the park facing NE 8th Street is where the annual Bellevue Strawberry Festival is held each year in late June. It is also a popular family park spot as there is a playground and covered picnic tables here. And there is a water spray area that is great for those hot summer days. While this part of the park is the most frequented, the park has much more to offer. The park has nice walking trails that are surprisingly quite hilly. As well as a nice area further to the west in this hilly section that would make for a good sunbathing spot. And in the lower portion of the park, there are tennis and basketball courts plus a skateboard bowl. I had thought this was mainly a park for the kids, but I was wrong. This park really has something to offer people of all ages. There are many amenities here and I would encourage checking out the full park, not just one section.

    "Orca Park" so names by the kiddos because of the Orca pod sculpture in the park. There is a lot of space in this park with a nice playground area. There's a nice sidewalk area encircling the park (beginner bikers and baby strollers area!), picnic shelters and tables.

    The new million-dollar-plus fountain park is a lot of fun, and you can tell, because it's always packed! Funded in part by the Rotary International organization, it has a huge marble globe that floats in a pool of water that has their name around the base, a bunch of squirty sea-rock looking things, and a mama orca and two babies. Every time we've been there, some part of the park has not been working and has been taped off, so I've dinged them a star until they can get everything to work. The "floor" surface is blue recycled rubber soft stuff but it can get pretty warm on a sunny day so Crocs or Tevas are a good idea. There's lots of grassy area around the park and several benches and picnic tables but if you're bringing a little one, you need to be prepared to bring your own shade... there are no shady places nearby. The playground is close, the restrooms are just on the other side of that, and the best parking lot is the one accessed off 164th Ave NE.

    Wonderful little splash park that was perfect for my 15 month old to run around and stay cool. I loved that the playground was right next to it so he could run back and forth between the two, and the ground material softened any falls. Very cute, very fun, highly recommend. Definitely recommend arriving right at opening time though because it gets crowded quickly.

    This park was great. Very family friendly, clean, with lots of activities. The kids loved the spray park and the small playground area.

    BELLEVUE DOWNTOWN PARK @ BELLEVUE…read more 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.

    This park is always so vibrant and clean when I visit! The loop around the park is about 0.5 miles…read moreso 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!

    BOTANICAL GARDEN @ BELLEVUE…read more Parking is available right out front, which makes this place super accessible. There are also designated handicap parking spots. My friend and I visited on a Friday around 2 PM, and there were a few spots open, so getting in was really easy. I loved how simple everything was to navigate, there's even a map available when you enter. Entry and parking are both completely free, which is a huge plus. We walked along the trail and I'd recommend spending about 2-3 hours here if you want to take your time and fully enjoy it. We had to speed-run our visit because we had another errand afterward, but it was still incredibly beautiful. I highly recommend stopping by the bridge, it was very therapeutic and relaxing to walk across. There are plenty of benches and seating areas along the way, perfect for taking breaks or just soaking in nature. The quality of the space is amazing, with a wide variety of rocks, trees, and scenery that make the whole experience feel peaceful. There are also bathrooms located at the front, and you're never too far from other people, which made it feel comfortable and safe. Overall, I definitely recommend stopping by this place.

We discovered this place on accident, and have returned so many times that I've lost count. Most of the time it's not crowded, but the summer is busy with families swimming at the beach, picnicking with kids, and couples enjoying the warm sun and numerous lookout points. The surrounding trails are a fun escape and easy to find. They have benches scattered throughout so if you want to sit and relax to soak in the sun's rays, you can do that too. Most aren't strenuous or long, perfect for a casual stroll. Above the beach area is a good-sized lawn area that gives a birds eye view of the Lake, and designed for a picnic. Pre-COVID, this spot had to be reserved and there are posted placards with instructions on how to do so. Since then, that has been banned. Parking is plentiful, though gets a bit tougher to find when the weather is nice. If you need ADA accessible parking, there are a small number of spots on the lower side of the park. You will need to hang a left off 98th that leads you to a small entrance so keep an eye out for that. Restrooms are clean, plenty of picnic tables for social distancing, and my perfect hideout to enjoy the quiet in the city. Highly recommend paying a visit, but be respectful of surrounding neighbors as this is a private residential area as well.
