Confirmed from Bellevue Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Bellevue Park
“I love this park I go here on my off days and its nice and beautiful and the lake is awesome”
“Very peaceful, lovely little park.”
“I walk my dogs at this park almost every day.”
Been a favorite park of mine since childhood. Playground, tennis/pickleball courts, and a nice hiking trail through the park and around the lake. Great place.
Lovely trees with a fitness area and a walking path. Has a nice playground and a fountain feature in the pond full of geese. There are picnic tables and grills also
The park had a great playground. They're doing some fixing up, so there are holes and mud all over the playground area currently. There are restrooms close by. They do lock at a certain time (around 6). The walking path around the pond is a great way to stretch your legs and say hello to the local birds.
We were in the area so we visited the playground today and noticed a piece broken on the musical instrument, it's very sharp and needs to be replaced before someone gets hurt. There is so much geese poop on the walking trail making it difficult not to step in it, especially toddlers.
