    The 1.65-acre Bridle Trails Valley Creek Park, at 4432 140th Ave. NE, features play areas for differing ages, an “adventure” play area, a picnic shelter, benches and picnic tables. Both hard- and soft-surface paths are incorporated into the design, which includes a loop trail surrounding a large lawn. This park opened in the spring of 2024.

    The eastern edge of the property abuts five acres of protected wetland owned by the city. The trail hugs the wetland buffer which will be restored with native plantings. A 12-stall parking lot is included, as no on-street parking is available nearby.

    Park Property Acquisition 

    The Parks & Community Services Department acquired a parcel for park development at 4432 140th Avenue NE in 2014.  Parks staff and the Bridle Trails Community Club's Park Committee worked together to locate and acquire a property within the Bridle Trails subarea that would best serve the community.  The site is conveniently located along 140th Avenue NE just south of the Bellevue Golf Course and abuts a six-acre city utility site to the east. 

    The Bridle Trails Community Club has additional information. If you would like a response to specific questions, contact Scott VanderHyden.
