Sunrise Neighborhood Park

Natural Splendor

Located in Bellevue, Sunrise Neighborhood Park is a little piece of natural beauty that feels worlds away from city life. The old-growth forest areas provide a canopy of green that offers a break from the urban environment. If you time your visit right, wildflowers dot the landscape with bursts of color, adding to the natural beauty.

The park offers that rare commodity in city life - relative quiet. While you'll catch some road noise from nearby streets on certain trail sections, it's still a calm retreat compared to the urban hustle. On those scorching summer days, the shaded trails become your best friend, making this spot enjoyable no matter when you visit.

Trails & Recreation

While not extensive, the trail system here packs a lot into a small package. The paved trails are smooth and accessible, great for a casual morning walk, a light jog, or pushing that stroller along while the little one naps or takes in the scenery.

What's nice about these trails is that they don't exist in isolation. They connect to the larger I-90 trail network, so you can easily extend your outdoor adventure if you're feeling ambitious. The paths are well-kept and accommodating for most fitness levels, though be prepared for some gradual uphill sections that might get your heart rate up a bit.

For the Dog Lovers

If you've got a four-legged friend, you're in for a treat. Sunrise Neighborhood Park is seriously dog-friendly, and you'll likely spot plenty of wagging tails along your walk. The trails provide ample space for your pup to sniff around and get some exercise without feeling cramped.

The shaded pathways are particularly nice during the warmer months, keeping both you and your furry companion comfortable. The paved surface is gentle on sensitive paws too - a thoughtful detail that regular dog walkers appreciate.
