    Beach Parks with Lifeguards

    Six Bellevue parks – Meydenbauer Bay Park, Chism, Newcastle, Enatai, Clyde and Chesterfield beach parks – feature beaches on Lake Washington, usually with lifeguards posted throughout the summer. If swimming areas or the rest of any of these parks are closed due to staff shortage or high bacteria in the water, for example, we'll let you know here. beach park rules
