    I went on a walk after a long day at work. Atmosphere is good and safe. Limited parking space though but I had a great refreshment

    Beautiful designed park with a kid playground and a beach. Summer time is fun for water sport, but the view is all season, day and night. Some mystery people place and draw ladybirds inside the park, which leads me to find their final presenting place at near neighborhood. Water, breeze and sunlight. I love this place. Ps, be careful about the spiders :)

    Beautiful circular dock you can walk out on

    I personally love the new Meydenbauer Bay Park and think it is not only a great preservation of space in the Bellevue area, but a nice area for family fun. If you think about the dollar value of this strip of land, I think it is admirable that the city kept and remodeled it, versus doing something to put dollars in their pockets. This park is easiest accessed by walking, but there is one lower and one upper parking lot if you come by car. I personally would bring my stroller and do street parking a few blocks off. There are gorgeous new playgrounds, a stunning dock, new restrooms, beaches to relax on, picnic tables to eat at, trails to walk, and so on. We loved it this summer, thank you city of Bellevue!!

    Meydenbauer Bay Park is the new park, in place of the former Meydenbauer Beach Park. I was a fan of the former, as it was the only beach park in downtown Bellevue. Yet, Meydenbauer Bay Park makes this more of an open park with a boardwalk to the water that you can dive off of and a larger playground area for families. I liked the former and the present is fine. But I will say that what this new park lacks is green space, which is what the Meydenbauer Beach Park had. I especially loved spending a few hours there, laying out and reading on the lawn area and would carry a picnic. It was also a hidden gem, as the trees made it more seclusive. Here at the new and "improved" park, the boardwalk is nice and you can tell it's new construction. The playground seems to be a huge feature here, with some tables and benches and bathrooms, catering to families. There's a small parking lot and also an area for cars to drop-off and pick-up passengers. Location is definitely on its side, as it's walking distance from downtown Bellevue. With that said, that will primarily be the reason why I visit this park.

    I loved the old park and I love the new park! It is definitely much easier to enjoy now, and you don't have to trip over 10 billion trees to get to the water. There's also a nice parking lot now! And a pretty beach area with grass, a playground, nice bathrooms with outdoor showers, lockers, and covered changing areas. Definitely coming back here to see the sunset!

    A great park in the heart of Bellevue. We missed this park till now, we recently heard that the city of Bellevue had done a lot of development around this park and inaugurated it recently and went looking for it. A great waterfront park with amazing views, which includes a sandy beach with swimming area, a play area for kids and some walking trails. They have paved a lot of the walking trails and added a lot of parking. It's an amazing park!!!

    I like this gorgeous park in old downtown Bellevue. It is good for walk n good for kids with new playground and sands. Also I saw kids were swimming in summer time. Many kids looks happy. Dog allowed too.

    Stunning. My new favorite spot . If you visit during the fall/winter time, do dress warm!

    One of my favorite places to relax and unwind. This park is beautiful and offers a lot of places to walk around, sit, or adventure.

    Wow! This was not here around 2 years ago. Was under construction and now it's here and so beautiful! Wow even have a little man made beach. Beautiful boardwalk, today we got to see a film/music video in the making. A bunch of teenagers dancing. How beautiful, how nice. Beautiful with the sunset.

    What a gorgeous hidden gem minutes from downtown Bellevue! Although it is more somber during this covid era, it is peaceful and beautiful. You're able to take a small boat or kayak out to the lake, sit on the dock and watch the water glisten, or have lunch on a bench overlooking the neighborhood. Usually there is a playground that is open as well as swimming permitting when there is a lifeguard. It's a great place to come for some peace of mind.

    I love this spot so much. Came here today for the first time on a Tuesday 4/25/23. Very relaxing. You can also go on the docks.

    BELLEVUE DOWNTOWN PARK @ BELLEVUE…read more Parking is available in any of the nearby garages for the closest walking distance to the park. I highly recommend parking in the Macy's garage or any of the garages near Nordstrom, as they're only about a five-minute walk and super convenient. Parking is free and generally easy to find, though the structures can sometimes close when they're completely full. Even then, there are plenty of other garages nearby that are still within a short and easy walking distance. I absolutely love downtown Bellevue, it's one of my favorite places to visit because of the great food, drinks, and overall atmosphere. Bellevue Downtown Park is amazing for so many reasons. The grass is very well maintained, making it perfect for picnics or a relaxing walk. There's a beautiful fountain, small ponds throughout the park, and you'll often see ducks swimming around (though probably not during the colder season). In the winter, there's an ice rink, and during the summer it's especially lively with events like food festivals and farmers markets. I would definitely recommend stopping by Bellevue Downtown Park, especially if you have some downtime before a reservation, it's a perfect spot to walk around and enjoy the area.

    This park is always so vibrant and clean when I visit! The loop around the park is about 0.5 miles…read moreso I can see myself taking a run here. There is also a large playground with swinging benches. I also like how there's ice cream shops like salt & straw and Molly moons nearby!

    Got a cup of coffee from Main Street Bellevue and started strolling to Meydenbaurer bay then…read morecontinue strolling and made it to Medina park. It is a wonderful area with man made lake nice walk ways for exercise. Very relaxing and perfect for weekend morning walk. There were lots of dog walkers here when we were there this morning.

    I've always loved coming here, but just had an upsetting experience…read more An unsupervised golden retriever came up to my friend and our two dogs and was harassing us. We were minding our business. The dog took my dog's ball and ran off. My dog was not a fan, so I leashed my dog and got the ball back. Sure enough, the dog came back. I said "no" as it tried to approach us. My dog was still leashed at this point because the dog was running around wildly. The owner came up to me and said "I don't know why you're in an off leash park if you're not okay with him approaching you." I told her that her dog was harassing us and that just because it's an off leash park doesn't mean we can't tell her dog to get away. She tried to argue and said that her dog hadn't even approached us--turns out she wasn't paying attention when her dog came over before. Her dog continued to go up to every single dog and run around far away from his owner. The rules clearly state that dogs are to be under voice control and should not bother other dogs or park users. The woman then proceeded to tell us "you must not be from around here, no one has ever talked to me like that." I am so disappointed. I felt very unwelcome and I'm fuming. It's sad that those who who live near the park thing it's private and no one else belongs there. Just be aware if you live elsewhere and you want to enjoy this space. You may not be welcomed by the "park regulars."
