Event Description

Bellevue Downtown Park has become one of the most recognizable and well-loved places in Bellevue, and plays a pivotal role in making downtown Bellevue an appealing place to live, work and play.

Join us Tuesday, June 21 at Noon for a groundbreaking ceremony before the start of the construction on both the Complete the Circle and Inspiration Playground projects on July 11. Construction is anticipated to be complete in June 2017 and includes the following key elements:

• Completion of the circular canal and tree-lined promenade;
• Creation of a "grand entrance" and water feature at the south end of the park;
• Terraced seating, stairways and accessible paths;
• Closing the current parking lot off Northeast Second Street and expanding the parking lot off 100th Avenue Northeast;
• Removal of the city-owned former Ballet Arts building; and
• Additional landscape plantings.
