Bellevue Botanical Garden is a wonderful place to experience the natural world of the Pacific Northwest. The paths take you through a great variety of PNW native species of plants and trees. The suspension bridge is fun to walk over. They offer classes to the public on many topics. The "Garden of DeLights" during the holiday season in December is especially beautiful. You will want to wear comfortable shoes and bring your camera.

Path takes you along the slough with a few educational graphics. There are choices to make as the path goes in different directions. One divergent path took us along a blueberry farm, leaves turning a beautiful scarlet. Definitely worth the walk. We’ll visit again and take a different path next time.

This is a very nice spot near downtown Bellevue - paved trails, a small playground, beach for kids to play, and a beautiful view. Parking lot is small but there's close by parking spots available. Restaurants within walking distance!

Located just south of the sprawling Bellevue Square shopping mall, this circular park is a beautiful urban oasis. It's especially nice given the building boom of apartments and condos downtown. There's a path around the perimeter for walking or jogging, a large central grass area for frisbee, kite flying or volleyball and a large playground area. Summer movie nights are a family treat, and they're free. Hopefully they will schedule more musical performances there, as the stage area next to the fountain is a great setting.

This is a great park. One of the best we've been to recently, hands down. There are a couple parking lots, and it can be a little wonky, but once that's out of the way, enjoy the park. Walk around to see the sculptures, and the really quite awesome playground. After that, we took a detour to the shopping area right nearby, which has a few nice restaurants and looks absolutely gorgeous at night.
