specifically highlights the vital and powerful role local parks and recreation play
in conservation, health and wellness, and social equity efforts in communities

“July is the perfect time to
highlight all the benefits parks and recreation provides right here in Bellevue,”
said Matt Hahn, Recreation Supervisor for the Village of Bellevue. “Our local
parks and recreation directly contribute to reduced obesity rates, an improved
ecosystem, and increased property values.” The Village Parks and Leisure Services
Department offers opportunities for people to achieve healthier lifestyles,
promote and understand nature and conservation, as well as bringing the
community closer through a variety of programs and services.
