Hello everyone!
This weekend, I'm trying to get out and learn my new area. Moving to a new city can be daunting, but it’s the joy of finding those special spots that make it feel like home that truly make it exciting. For me, in my new city of Bellevue, Washington, discovering Clyde Beach Park has been a delight.
Tucked away in the cityscape, Clyde Beach Park has proven to be a serene retreat and an excellent way to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It’s not just a park; it’s a friendly community hub that is as welcoming as it is calming. The park was busy and active, but also quiet and scenic, beautiful land scaping and the view of Lake WA on a beautiful Sunday Afternoon.
Imagine my surprise when, nestled amidst the beautiful landscape, I found the crown jewel of the park – a swimming area! The pristine waters and the park's clean, sandy beach make it an oasis for water lovers like me. Watching families splash around, laughter echoing off the water, and folks lazily basking in the sun immediately told me that this place was going to become a regular stop for me.
And it’s not just about swimming. For those interested in kayaking, paddleboarding, or any other water sports, Clyde Beach Park provides excellent water access. Being able to seamlessly transition from land to water gives this park a versatility that few others offer.
Beyond the water, the park has more to offer. The playground filled with giggling children, the tennis courts echoing with the sound of a friendly match, and the beautifully maintained picnic area under the trees create a community vibe that's palpably heart-warming.
What I loved the most, however, was the walking trail surrounding the park. Flanked by towering trees and offering scenic views of the waterfront, this trail was the perfect way to wrap up my day. A gentle stroll here not only helped me unwind but also offered me glimpses of the local fauna, enriching my experience.
To a newcomer like me, Clyde Beach Park is a testament to Bellevue's perfect blend of urban and natural spaces. The inviting water, the active community, and the tranquil corners for solitude make it an incredible place to relax, meet new people, and create lasting memories.
As I settle into my new life in Bellevue, I can already see this park becoming a constant in my life. I'm eager to explore more, to dive deeper into the Bellevue experience, and to share my discoveries with all of you.
I'm actually enjoying exploring my new neighborhood and finding things to do and places to go. Next step... Make some friends.
What'd you do this weekend? #bellevue #livegoeson #living
