This is Chism Park, a hidden gem in Bellevue right on Lake Washington. 9 months of the year it is totally empty, except for the occasional dog walker- which is usually me. The park itself is gorgeous, no matter the season. In spring it has a huge Golden Chain tree which is breathtaking in full bloom. In fall, as you can see it is filled with color.
It has a great beach so it gets busy in summer and I usually avoid it because of the crowds. But I absolutely love having it to myself the rest of the year. Not only is the park lovely, but its view from the waterfront is outstanding. From the beach you have views of Mercer Island, Leschi and Laurelhurst. You can see Husky stadium and UW.
While I am busy admiring the surroundings, Dunn is busy enjoying the clean sandy beach. A lot of parks have pebble beaches, so the sand is a treat.
You know that poem about leaving footprints in the sand? Well, we did..........
