This park with it's many winding trails is a great place to get some steps in and introspect at the same time. The air smells sweet and fresh, and the growth is well maintained. It's far away enough from the road that you get some peace and quiet, and hiking back to civilization is always satisfying. Definitely coming back here to explore each and every trail in the future!

Lovely neighborhood trail with a little elevation in the beginning but lovely and relatively flat the rest of the way. All total it is a little over 3 miles . It is mostly vegetation with a few built in benches. Don't expect water features however there is evidence of a small waterfall but it is dry now. If you enter on the W. lake Sammamish trailhead, you will immediately experience all of the elevation of this hike. It is a steep 1/2 mile but then it progresses to switchbacks . All in all very lovely

Picnic Bench by the Phantom Creek

We came here for a nature walk/small hike on a Saturday afternoon and we were the only ones here. There are two entrances to this park. We started at the entrance off of West Lake Sammamish Parkway on the main drag, and there is an area where a few cars can park by the entrance. At this entrance there is a gradual steep hill that eventually turns to the left where most of the trail isn't steep. There are signs throughout the trail that show which pathways go where, including the Lake to Lake Trail and Phantom Lake. We went to the Phantom Creek area and from the start of the West Lake Sammamish Parkway entrance it was only a mile and half one-way. We found some benches along the way and there is a lookout to where the creek is, as well as a picnic bench area right by it. Since we were limited on time we couldn't go further, but the park connects with multiple trails. Overall, the nature walk is an easy small hike and we were able to see the beautiful Douglas Firs everywhere and the changing of the leaves. It's a nice park to visit, especially for some solitude or peace and quiet.

My favorite park in Bellevue, or much of the Seattle area for that. Really underused. The park consists of a roughly three hundred foot high hill topping out to a ridge, then continuing on the Lake to Lake trail to Phantom Lake. On the hike up from West Lake Samm Parkway, many of the trees are old growth and one can truly get lost in the forest. Even saw a bald eagle hovering over here once. Parking is on the side of the road and thus feels a bit vulnerable. Sometimes can get busy at the entrance.

This trail is extremely peaceful & calming. Great place to bring your dogs along as well. My little dude absolutely loved it. Will definitely be going back!

Trees growing out of trees!!  I never tire of seeing it around here.

It's a beautiful, mostly peaceful (the road isn't too far and the birds add a nice filter) walk/hike down the road. I plan to start frequenting this place because of the great location! Beautiful to see all of the new buds erupting! For a Saturday hike, we only passed a few couples or single hikers near dusk. There's a fallen tree over the section right after you cross the "driveway" and head towards Lake Hills. Someone is also missing glasses a thoughtful person tied to a tree close to the exit on W Lake Samm.

Parking is strictly street parking, so just be mindful of the neighborhood nearby - you don't want to step on any toes with the locals with your crappy parking. The street almost runs parallel with a paved portion of the trail. They have ample benches as well as trash cans provided for you so think of the critters before you litter! I took a picture of the trail and it loops all the way to the blueberry farms, which is quite a ways. So we decided to stay within Weowna Park loop. Going on a Tuesday morning - we didn't run into too many people. It is summer-time so it's probably busier now than in the later fall months. This place has some good gradual inclines that can get your heart beating. But along the same lines, it makes for a great running trail. That farther you get into the trail - the more you can see the view of Lake Sammamish - just look pass the houses on the water. The trail is well-kept, when we were there - there was a worker, cutting the overgrown bushes from the trail and sweeping the pine cones aside making it easy for walkers and runners alike. There were a couple of trees that you can see have fallen on the trail but they cut it and stacked it on the side. This park was something I never knew existed in Bellevue of all place. I'm glad I found it - makes for a great nature-getaway! Oh! The trails are marked but sort of confusing - this could be operator-error on my part. lol. I'm just sayin' All in all, a great place for a stroll or for a jog.

Great trails to hike on. There are 2 loop trails you can do, as well as ones that go straight to a road. The trail is easy to walk on, and it's not super steep. There are stairs in some places. On one of the trails, there are 2 'crow nests' that look out over where you've already hiked. I would definitely recommend these hikes to anyone nearby.

such a cute hiking trail! it's rather short, but the views are nice. i went on a saturday afternoon and it wasn't busy which was great and the parking was easy.

Pet friendly!

A hidden forest in the city! Love it! This is a spot you can either go for a short loop for about 1 mile or to explore the entire area to spend a couple of hours. It's a beautiful park especially in snow! Pet friendly as well!

Take a stroll through a beautifully maintained natural park. There are meandering trails through the woods. There is just enough incline to feel like you're hik in in a forest, but the paths are not overly strenuous. Enjoy the sunlight pouring through the mossy trees. There is even a creek flowing through the well marked loop.

Totally different when your there pictures never do justice but it is beautiful and peaceful

Bellevue Downtown Park

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!

Bellevue Botanical Garden - Best day ever!

The Bellevue gardens is a pretty quiet and secluded little spot to relax and take in some nature…read more It's not a huge place, but it's big enough that you can spend an hour or two there, casually strolling about. No trouble with parking, and it is free to enter, so you really should stop by if you are nearby. It's worth it.

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.

Great park down a VERY STEEP walkway ( you'll get winded going back up). There was lots of parking…read moreand two handicapped spots right near the sandy beach. 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.

Scattered among the sea of King County parks sits this beautiful and quaint spot that boasts some…read moreof the best views of Seattle over Lake Washington! 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.
