Birds seen at Keehne Environmental Area - PDF
The Village of Bellevue has two parks, in addition to the
recreational facilities available at the schools. Washington Park
and Jefferson Park are within walking distance of the Village's
downtown district and are used by Village and non-Village residents
alike.
Washington Park
The Village's one and a half acre downtown park, is where
community celebrations such as the Annual Bellevue Car & Truck
Show take place. It also is a favorite gathering spot for family
gatherings and picnics in the summer months. The park has a large
pavilion with picnic tables, a playground with swings, slides, a
whirly and other equipment, and a canopy of trees that provide
relief from the hot summer sun. The park is also home to several
memorials that honor and remember past residents of the community.
Jefferson Park
A two acre park, located one block east of N. Main St. The park
along with the Village water tower and iron removal plant take up
a village block. This park is home to the Village's basketball
courts and soon to be the home of our new skate park. The park is
a hot spot for the youth in the community and pick up games of
basketball are easy to come by during the summer months.
The Village is also home to two Eaton County
Parks with a third just outside of the Village Limits; Keehne
Environmental Center, Butler Park and Dyer Kiln Park.
