Bellevue’s newest park is located at the corner of Main Street and 112th Avenue Southeast, near the southeast edge of downtown Bellevue. This 1.75-acre park is built on top of Sound Transit’s Downtown transit tunnel portal. In late 2024, Sound Transit transferred the park to Bellevue Parks & Community Services to operate and maintain. The space provides a lovely place to walk, rest and enjoy nature in a rapidly growing urban area. Walking paths provide connections from Main Street to 112th Avenue, connecting the Sound Transit East Main Station to the surrounding neighborhoods.
Help Name the Park
We are looking for park name suggestions! All park users and Bellevue residents are welcome to submit ideas and share their name preferences. Suggested names will be screened against the five criteria outlined in the city’s naming policy.
Using the community’s suggestions and the naming policy as a guide, the Parks & Community Services Board will recommend a park name to the City Council for review and adoption. The survey will be open through April 26.
