Downtown Park offers 20 acres of manicured lawns, fountains, waterfalls, and shady trees - all in the heart of downtown Bellevue. The park is an ideal site for walking, picnicking or relaxing on the grass. Because of its central location and large open spaces, the park is host to numerous community events.

Mercer Slough is the largest wetland on Lake Washington. Explore the meadows and forests along the five miles of trails, or take a guided canoe trip through the marshes with a park ranger. With a little luck, you can catch a glimpse of the otters, herons, turtles, or other wildlife species in this fascinating ecosystem.

Bellevue has over 50 miles of nature trails. Get a detailed description of each trail here.
