This park provides Bellevue area residents with a safe place for off-leash play with their dogs. Off-leash play benefits all members of the community. Dogs that have regular exercise are better neighbors. They are quieter, better behaved and friendlier to other people and dogs.

FEATURES

  • Distinct areas for different types of dogs:
    • Half-acre dedicated to leisure or small dogs
    • One acre dedicated to active larger dogs
    • Common area in the middle of the park for on-leash social area
  • Secure double-gated transition area at the main entrance
  • There are paved bench areas planned and generous areas of shade

LOCATION

ABOUT THE PARK

The city of Bellevue Bark Park was built in the fall of 2015 by the dog park committee, the Bellevue Rec. Club, Inc., and Recreation & Parks Staff, and City Service Department personnel.

The money to purchase and build the dog park was raised through donations, grants, and in-service. Limited tax money was used for materials and services to build the dog park.

The Bellevue Rec. Club and the Bellevue Dog Park Committee is seeking additional financial and in-kind services to continue to fund this project and add additional features including benches, picnic tables, shade structure, waste receptacles and drinking fountains. 

Volunteers are welcome! If interested in being part of the Bellevue Bark Park Committee please contact us at 419-483-5555.
