Expand opportunities at our community parks, such as allowing visitors to experience botanical displays and educational programs at the Bellevue Botanical Garden Wetland Sun Terrace development.

Acquire, plan, and develop neighborhood parks with amenities like play equipment, open space, and trail connections at locations such as Eastgate, Factoria, and Ashwood Park.

Prepare plans for community facilities, including those that support aquatics and a cross-cultural center. When it comes to waterfront restoration and development, this levy will also assist with the continued phased development of waterfront access at Meydenbauer Bay Park. The levy will also protect the water quality of Bellevue’s lakes and streams through the restoration and refurbishment of these parks.

Help to acquire and develop parks within the population growth centers in Bel-Red and Wilburton.

Invest in park enhancements to support emerging sports like pickle ball and cricket, as well as improve access for off-leash dogs throughout the park system.
