Parks & Open Space System Plan

Bellevue’s Parks & Open Space System Plan ( 27 MB) is the primary tool used to guide the growth and development of the city's parks system. 

The Park Plan guides staff and the Parks & Community Services Board when making recommendations to the City Council on the acquisition, development and management of parks and open space citywide. It is instrumental in developing the Parks & Community Services Department's capital budget and Capital Investment Program (CIP) plan.

Originally drafted in 1993 based on the city’s mission and long-term vision of the park system, the Park Plan was updated in 2003 with extensive public input.
