Ivanhoe Park

Play & Recreation

At 2.48 acres, Ivanhoe Park in Bellevue, Washington is small enough to feel intimate but packed with enough features to keep everyone entertained.

The play area offers a variety of equipment for children of different ages and interests. There's a rock climbing wall for the adventurous little ones, various climbing structures for the explorers, and a jungle gym where energy can be burned in abundance. Both baby and child swings mean no one misses out on the fun, and the interactive music board adds a creative twist to playground adventures.

Got a basketball enthusiast in the family? The park's basketball court is great for shooting hoops or playing a quick pickup game. And when you need space for frisbee, catch, or just running around, the open grassy field provides plenty of room to spread out.

Chill & Connect

Not everything at Ivanhoe is about activity - sometimes you just need to relax. About 4 picnic tables are scattered within the park, and you can actually move them around to create your perfect lunch spot or reading nook. It's a lovely place to enjoy a sandwich or simply sit back and watch the world go by.

A full loop sidewalk encircles the entire park, making it excellent for a casual stroll or pushing a stroller. What's particularly nice is how the park manages to feel secluded and peaceful despite being near a busy street - it's like a little green haven in the midst of suburban life.

Practical Stuff

Thirsty? There's a water fountain to keep you hydrated during your visit. When nature calls, you'll find a porta-potty near the basketball court - not glamorous, but it does the job.
