Lewis Creek Park
A 55-acre park in Lakemont, mostly natural area, with a visitor center for environmental education and wetland, meadow and forest trails.
Lewis Creek Park is a 55-acre park in the Lakemont area of south Bellevue, with more than 80% of its land preserved as undeveloped natural area at the headwaters of Lewis Creek. It offers three habitats to explore, wetland, meadow and forest, linked by nearly three miles of approachable hiking trails.
The park's Lewis Creek Visitor Center is a roughly 2,500-square-foot interpretive facility and gathering place for environmental education, with exhibits and information about Bellevue and regional parks plus family programs and recreation opportunities.
Alongside the natural areas, the park includes separate play areas for younger and older children, a basketball court and soccer/baseball fields, balancing habitat preservation with neighborhood recreation.
