City of Bellevue: Parks & Community Services

The Bellevue Parks & Community Services Department is dedicated to providing a healthy community through an integrated system of exceptional parks, open space, recreation, cultural and human services programs. We recognize that citizenship is the thread that binds our social fabric. When managed properly, community involvement can provide valuable customer input, strengthen community bonds, and provide for efficient and expanded service delivery. Fostering volunteer relationships allows us to practice good stewardship and demonstrates our dedication to exceptional public service. We believe our citizens play a very valuable role in partnering with our organization to deliver the best possible services and guidance for future programs and park development. We strive to provide meaningful opportunities which bring benefits to our volunteers.

The City of Bellevue Parks & Community Services Department manages a highly recognized and extensive, "world class" Parks System which is a generous blend of structured and non-structured recreational opportunities. The park system includes over 90 parks consisting of 2,500 acres.
