    Picnics and strolls along the pleasant promenade are great at the beach. The large, pristine beach provides an excellent location, albeit the cool breeze can be a detriment. Due to swirling dry leaves, high winds limited our stay to 30 minutes during my visit. The neighborhood exhibits both positive and negative characteristics of gentrification, yet this does not detract from the entire experience. Despite cleanliness problems, the beach remains a favorite, and I can't wait to go again for more fun.

    Perfect place for a quiet walk, amazing view, many birds and squirrels . There also a play place for kids.

    It's a small little park with nice water views. The playground is a bit of a walk from the car parking area so please don't leave valuables in your car. I liked the non moving train climbing area for my toddler. It was a perfect height and size for him to explore. It has wood chips which I hate but hopefully they will upgrade it in the future. It's very quiet in winter but I can see it being packed in summer when you can go swimming in the lake.

    Great park, our son loves it, even in the winter. It was definitely subpar weather but we made the best of the day!

    Along the border of Lake Washington, this is a great park with a nice view! Our party had reserved one of the shelters which comfortably provided enough seating for about 50-60 people (about 10 tables with 6 people at each). A grill was available for use (although not sure how clean it is) and there was a good amount of space surrounding the shelter to set up a buffet line. There is a huge grassy field which allows for various groups to spread out at once and a fairly large play structure for the kids. The beach area is just after a short walk through the park - the sand area is fairly small, but would be a great place to relax. As for the lake, boundaries section off the area for swimming and lifeguards keep a close eye even if no one is in the water. To take in the view of the lake, walk along the pier, which people also use to fish. Parking was very easy to find. There are two lots - one paved and the other gravel. I arrived around 4:00 pm on a sunny day and the paved lot was filling up, but the gravel one was completely open. Bathrooms are located closer to the beach and appeared to be well-maintained. Overall, if hosting an outdoor event, this is a park I would recommend.

    Though the name of the park is Newcastle Beach Park, it is actually located in Bellevue. But practically at the south end of the city boundaries. This beach park is located on Lake Washington. It has a view of I-90 in the distance as well as Seattle on the other side of the water. The view southward is cutoff since the beach lies a little more inward. This is not a huge beach. The amount of sand here is rather modest. It has a swimming dock, several picnic areas and a playground. The park is family friendly as it is full of kids running around. I did notice that the picnic areas need to be reserved if you want to use them. The picnic areas here do have room to barbecue so it would be good for a group event. As for parking, there are two separate lots. One that is paved and one that is on gravel. The gravel one seemed to have a bit more spaces available. I think this beach is okay, but the demographics here make me feel a bit out of place. It seems more geared for families. Gene Coulon Park in Renton seems to have a more diversified mix of beachgoers if you are particular about this.

    This is an awesome park that's well maintained. The grass is super nice. There were lots of geese hanging out when I came. So there was some poop, but the park is still very lovely.

    A nice neighborhood small park that can enjoy the view of Lake Washington. Goose poop all over the grass, be careful. Take a seat by the lake, relaxed.

    5 sexy betches hit the beach, yet again, looking to get some sun and some swim on. This is a nice park. Great play toy and area for the kids, wide open grassy areas, cordoned off swimming area, sandy beach, nice over water boardwalk. Being in Newcastle means two things (1) lots of rules, all meticulously posted and (2) immaculately maintained. The one downside I discovered today is being there anywhere near dusk and making the mistake of walking down the asphalt paths instead of through the grass. My daughter Selena took the grass route. Delilah, Michelle and I however, did not. What awaited us down the paved path? Swarms of huge, vicious mosquitoes. I swear, you will think I am exaggerating for this review, but the bastards chased us down. Even while swatting like a mo-fo I was COVERED in them and have about a dozen bites in the 30 seconds it took us to run through. Perhaps they spray the grass area to discourage these buggers..leaving them to hunt down unsuspecting travelers of the path. I can't discount all the great things about this park because of that gang of vampiric insects though, so Newcastle beach park gets my thumbs up.

    Nice beach for picnics and small get togethers. In the summer, the beach gets pretty packed. There is a sandy area at the beach, as well as a lots of grass for recreation, laying out, etc. Beware, there is often quite a bit of goose poop around and dogs are not permitted in the mark between June and September. There is a parking area, but it is rather limited in the area. Also, beware car prowlers!

    There's duck or goose poop everywhere you try to sit. It's says dogs are not allowed starting from June 1st through September 15.

    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!

It is a wonderful area with man made lake nice walk ways for exercise. Very relaxing and perfect for weekend morning walk. There were lots of dog walkers here when we were there this morning.

    I've always loved coming here, but just had an upsetting experience…read more An unsupervised golden retriever came up to my friend and our two dogs and was harassing us. We were minding our business. The dog took my dog's ball and ran off. My dog was not a fan, so I leashed my dog and got the ball back. Sure enough, the dog came back. I said "no" as it tried to approach us. My dog was still leashed at this point because the dog was running around wildly. The owner came up to me and said "I don't know why you're in an off leash park if you're not okay with him approaching you." I told her that her dog was harassing us and that just because it's an off leash park doesn't mean we can't tell her dog to get away. She tried to argue and said that her dog hadn't even approached us--turns out she wasn't paying attention when her dog came over before. Her dog continued to go up to every single dog and run around far away from his owner. The rules clearly state that dogs are to be under voice control and should not bother other dogs or park users. The woman then proceeded to tell us "you must not be from around here, no one has ever talked to me like that." I am so disappointed. I felt very unwelcome and I'm fuming. It's sad that those who who live near the park thing it's private and no one else belongs there. Just be aware if you live elsewhere and you want to enjoy this space. You may not be welcomed by the "park regulars."
