Our mission:

To build a healthy community through an integrated system of exceptional parks, natural areas, recreation, arts and culture and a broad base of community services.

Our vision:

In Bellevue everyone can connect to each other and to nature through experiences that help them to live, grow and thrive.

Equity: A System of Fairness

Equity acknowledges and removes disparities in opportunities, power and resources, so everyone can reach their full potential. Bellevue Parks & Community Services practices equity, which is the responsibility of every individual in the department. Equitable access is a right, not a privilege, and is fundamental to our mission of serving all people. Through equitable policies and practices, we cultivate ties that connect people to the fabric of our community.
