Latest updates and notices
- Closure notice: The Bellevue Aquatic Center will be closed from August 20, 2022-September 5, 2022 for annual pool maintenance, and will re-open on September 6, 2022. We will have an updated fall schedule at that time.
- Due to high demand, Saturday afternoon public swims in the warm springs pool have been set to reservation only in one hour blocks. Reservations are available online at register.bellevuewa.gov with payment to be made at the facility prior to entry. We are hoping that the reservation system will help avoid unnecessary trips for patrons when the pool is full. At this time the blue lagoon pool does not require a reservation.

Inclement Weather Plan
Call 425-452-4444 before travelling to Bellevue Aquatic Center to ensure the facility is open.
In the event of inclement weather, the Parks & Community Services Department will make every effort to communicate the status of facilities and programs, special events and rentals. Administration will decide whether to cancel a program or close a facility based upon the safety of participants and employees and the ability to appropriately staff programs and facilities.
As a general rule, if the Bellevue School District is closed due to a weather event, Parks & Community Services Department classes and programs will be cancelled for the entire day. If the Bellevue School District is on a delayed schedule, call the facility for an updated status report. Select facilities may be open for drop-in activities at a modified level. If you are unable to reach the facility, call the Parks & Community Services Department's general information number at 425-452-6885. Inclement weather can affect park use and trail conditions. Please use caution when visiting park sites during poor weather, as trails and other park facilities may become wet and slippery. Park trails may be closed.
