Confirmed from Wilburton Hill 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.
Wooded park with picnic areas, a soccer field & 2 baseball fields, a playground & trails.

This is quite old and one of the most popular parks in Bellevue. For those who do not live in downtown, this was and remains the number one park for walking dogs, playing with children soccer and baseball.
08/12/23: it is an awesome park with ample parking. The restroom is clean and regularly maintained. I see people wrote good comments about the park’s kids playground. I could not agree more.
A fenced in dog park is in this park by the playgrounds! Beautiful gardens and winding steady uphill inclines. The bridge is breathtaking and swings a little bit, but elevates you over a babbling brook . Dogs aren’t allowed in the botanical gardens , no exception.
This is a great park, thats a bit hidden as its behind the botanical gardens. Its has a large playground for kids, zip line, exercise area, easy trails to walk on, and is close to the soccer field. Parking is also really easy and abundant.
