Weowna Park — Attraction in Bellevue

🌲 Nature’s Mic Drop in Bellevue 🌲

If you’ve ever wanted to feel like you’ve wandered into a forested fairy tale without needing to pack a tent or fight off a bear, Weowna Park is your spot. The hiking trails? Oh, they’re not just trails—they’re winding, shaded, root-tangled invitations to pretend you’re in a REI commercial. Elevation changes keep things spicy, but not so intense that you’ll regret skipping leg day.

The people? Unreasonably friendly. Like, “smile-and-nod” friendly. “Say hi to your dog before they say hi to you” friendly. It’s unsettling in the best way.

And the wildlife? Owls and woodpeckers basically run the place. You’ll hear the rhythmic drumming of one and the soft, eerie hoot of the other like they’re coordinating a woodland soundtrack. Add in a few startled squirrels and you’ve got yourself a Disney scene in the making.

Best part? You’re five minutes from civilization but might as well be in Narnia. No traffic noise, no city stress—just trees, birds, and the occasional jogger who looks way too happy to be jogging uphill.

Highly recommend. Just don’t tell too many people. Let’s keep this little slice of Pacific Northwest magic...

However, for adults that are looking for an adventure that does not feel like a flat-leveled park, those grounds could bring satisfaction. A word of wisdom: wear shoes that are comfortable due to very soft and mulchy ground that is truly dusty. The dust will cover your shoes and climb up nearly to your knees on a dry day so prepare yourself to take shower and to do laundry...

These 88 acres of well kept trails is an absolute gem of flat and steep trails, lush forest, water falls and all types of flora. Depending on the time of day and year, you can spot all sorts of wildlife: owls, bald eagles, deer, bucks, fawns, bobcats, mountain beavers, mother ducks and her clutch, and the dogs who let their humans run free and unleashed. There are two spots with a picnic tablas so it can be fun to escape there for lunch. If you like treasure hunting there is a geocache or...
