Bellevue’s newest park needs a name. It is located at the corner of Main Street and 112th Avenue Southeast, near the southeast edge of downtown. This 1.75-acre park is built on top of Sound Transit’s light rail 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.
Giving the park a name is a process for the Bellevue community.
