About Crossroads Park
Crossroads Park is East Bellevue's community heart — 40 acres of playfields, a spray-play water feature, a modern playground, an outdoor performance stage, and a community garden, all wrapped around the Crossroads Community Center. It's where the Bellevue Strawberry Festival unfolds each June and where East Bellevue's multicultural community gathers most warm evenings.

What you'll experience
The visit, in detail
The playground is one of the largest in Bellevue, with structures for toddlers through pre-teens and a summer spray-play pad that runs on hot days. The Crossroads stage hosts free summer concerts and cultural performances. Cricket, soccer, and softball fields fill weekends, and the community garden plots along the edge add a quiet, working-farm feel. The adjacent Crossroads Bellevue mall provides food, restrooms, and rainy-day retreat.

Practical
Know before you go
Spray-play runs Memorial Day through Labor Day, weather-dependent; bring towels and water shoes. Parking is generous but fills fast during festival weekends — use the mall lot as overflow. Restrooms are inside the community center and open during posted hours; the mall's restrooms are the backup. Leashed dogs welcome; not permitted on athletic fields or the playground.
