In the process of updating its long-range plan for parks and open spaces in Bellevue, the city has developed a five-minute survey to ask people how they currently use Bellevue parks and trails, and what types of parks and recreational facilities they would like to see in the future.

The survey is accessible from the department's home page or on the Bellevue Parks blog. The blog invites other discussions with park users too. /parks-survey-launched.htm
