    I went on a walk after a long day at work. Atmosphere is good and safe. Limited parking space though but I had a great refreshment

    Beautiful designed park with a kid playground and a beach. Summer time is fun for water sport, but the view is all season, day and night. Some mystery people place and draw ladybirds inside the park, which leads me to find their final presenting place at near neighborhood. Water, breeze and sunlight. I love this place. Ps, be careful about the spiders :)

    Beautiful circular dock you can walk out on

    I personally love the new Meydenbauer Bay Park and think it is not only a great preservation of space in the Bellevue area, but a nice area for family fun. If you think about the dollar value of this strip of land, I think it is admirable that the city kept and remodeled it, versus doing something to put dollars in their pockets. This park is easiest accessed by walking, but there is one lower and one upper parking lot if you come by car. I personally would bring my stroller and do street parking a few blocks off. There are gorgeous new playgrounds, a stunning dock, new restrooms, beaches to relax on, picnic tables to eat at, trails to walk, and so on. We loved it this summer, thank you city of Bellevue!!

    Meydenbauer Bay Park is the new park, in place of the former Meydenbauer Beach Park. I was a fan of the former, as it was the only beach park in downtown Bellevue. Yet, Meydenbauer Bay Park makes this more of an open park with a boardwalk to the water that you can dive off of and a larger playground area for families. I liked the former and the present is fine. But I will say that what this new park lacks is green space, which is what the Meydenbauer Beach Park had. I especially loved spending a few hours there, laying out and reading on the lawn area and would carry a picnic. It was also a hidden gem, as the trees made it more seclusive. Here at the new and "improved" park, the boardwalk is nice and you can tell it's new construction. The playground seems to be a huge feature here, with some tables and benches and bathrooms, catering to families. There's a small parking lot and also an area for cars to drop-off and pick-up passengers. Location is definitely on its side, as it's walking distance from downtown Bellevue. With that said, that will primarily be the reason why I visit this park.

    I loved the old park and I love the new park! It is definitely much easier to enjoy now, and you don't have to trip over 10 billion trees to get to the water. There's also a nice parking lot now! And a pretty beach area with grass, a playground, nice bathrooms with outdoor showers, lockers, and covered changing areas. Definitely coming back here to see the sunset!

    A great park in the heart of Bellevue. We missed this park till now, we recently heard that the city of Bellevue had done a lot of development around this park and inaugurated it recently and went looking for it. A great waterfront park with amazing views, which includes a sandy beach with swimming area, a play area for kids and some walking trails. They have paved a lot of the walking trails and added a lot of parking. It's an amazing park!!!

    I like this gorgeous park in old downtown Bellevue. It is good for walk n good for kids with new playground and sands. Also I saw kids were swimming in summer time. Many kids looks happy. Dog allowed too.

    Stunning. My new favorite spot . If you visit during the fall/winter time, do dress warm!

    One of my favorite places to relax and unwind. This park is beautiful and offers a lot of places to walk around, sit, or adventure.

    Wow! This was not here around 2 years ago. Was under construction and now it's here and so beautiful! Wow even have a little man made beach. Beautiful boardwalk, today we got to see a film/music video in the making. A bunch of teenagers dancing. How beautiful, how nice. Beautiful with the sunset.

    What a gorgeous hidden gem minutes from downtown Bellevue! Although it is more somber during this covid era, it is peaceful and beautiful. You're able to take a small boat or kayak out to the lake, sit on the dock and watch the water glisten, or have lunch on a bench overlooking the neighborhood. Usually there is a playground that is open as well as swimming permitting when there is a lifeguard. It's a great place to come for some peace of mind.

    I love this spot so much. Came here today for the first time on a Tuesday 4/25/23. Very relaxing. You can also go on the docks.

The beach itself is somewhat small but two lifeguards were on duty on a Sunday. About 1/4 of the water had a lot of debris in it but the rest was nice. There are several grassy areas to enjoy and a nice paved walkway lined with fragrant flowers. Bathrooms, boardwalk and a free-standing dock are also included. A great free way to spend an afternoon.

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.

I was looking to play during my last visit and a friend suggested going here. First off I had no idea they added pickleball courts and was impressed at the 8 very nice courts and good level of competition. The format took a little getting used to as it appeared to have been 4 on, 4 off. I could tell there were a lot of regulars here and everyone really came to play. I wish I could've played here again but I guess it will have to wait until my next visit.

The parking lot by the pickle ball courts were full so we turned around and parked at the community center. So much better with ample open spaces and no waiting. Recommend coming here first if one arrives on a weekend afternoon. It was about five minutes or so walk down to the pickle ball court from the community center. The pickle ball courts were first come first served and were full that day. Lots of kids were also playing in the nearby playground. Similarly lots of dogs were enjoying their freedom in the off leash section of the park. We stopped by a small beach already occupied by a couple of sun bathers. Views towards Meydenbauer Bay in Bellevue on the right and east Seattle on the left. We headed to the wetlands walk as our final stop as it roughly led us in the direction of the community center. It was peaceful here with duck families swimming around. A few eagles were also nesting inside with lots of warning signage but we did not catch a sight of any. Nicer restroom facilities were available in the community center but also by the pickle ball courts if needed.
