We are currently in Phase 2 of the governor’s re-opening plan. Parks and trails are open, although playgrounds are closed. The Bellevue Golf Course, Robinswood Tennis Center, and Bellevue Aquatic Center are open for limited use. Community centers and other recreation facilities remain closed. We continue to work toward re-opening facilities and re-starting programming when phased in by the state’s Safe Start plan.
