Kelsey Creek Park and Farm

Another park that is too beautiful to miss out on is Kelsey Creek Park and Farm! The Kelsey Creek Community Park in Bellevue, Washington, has 150 acres of forest, meadows, and marshes and is home to a glimpse of this city’s rural past. Two historic barns loom high on a ridge overlooking shallow valleys on either side. These barns, which are listed in the State Heritage Barn Register, were formerly inhabited by the Twin Valley Dairy.

Kelsey Creek Farm Park has hiking and jogging trails, picnic areas, a playground, marshes, open grassy spaces, streams, and woods. The Fraser Cabin is perched on a hill near the park’s historic dairy barns. The Eastside Heritage Center houses drop-in programs for guests while the city runs several log cabin programs. The Kelsey Creek Park is open every day from dawn to dusk and is a great place to take the family for a walk or picnic.

Kelsey Creek Park’s Nature Trails offer a year-round chance to enjoy a woody environment. Flowers blooming in the springtime provide a heady fragrance for people walking around the region. In the summer, birds flit among the bushes as Kelsey Creek babbles by your side. Fall produces intense orange and crimson colors when the trees in the area change color. Winter’s blanket does not deter hikers; this is a wonderful place to dispel winter blues.

There are even farm animals for all to enjoy! Kelsey’s farm animals function as educational animals and are used in classes, programs, and special events. The animals are available for viewing between the hours of 9 am and 3 pm all year! At Kelsey Creek, Community Park, all dogs, and other pets must be kept on a leash at all times. All pets are strictly prohibited from the barnyard due to the health and well-being of the farm animals.
