    Vision for Recreation 

    Bellevue is a healthy community where all people participate in a range of recreation activities of their choice, offered by any service provider, allowing greater physical and mental health and increased connections to their neighbors and the community.

    Guiding Principles for Recreation

    1. Health-Focused: We implement and support services, programs, and initiatives that promote the physical, mental, and emotional health of individuals, families, neighborhoods, and the community.
       
    2. Building Community: We are a trusted resource that creates and enhances relationships and connections between our residents.
       
    3. Culture of Excellence: We provide and/or facilitate inclusive, accessible, and equitable recreation programs for all, where everyone can expect quality staff, programs, and facilities.
       
    4. Dynamic and Resourceful: We are highly responsive to an ever-changing and diverse community, providing opportunities that are relevant and well-coordinated.
