From the reviews
Amazing park. Very well maintained, plentiful parking. Nice pond for fishing, good pavilions, children’s play area, picnic tables, awesome as a wedding location and photography. All together great park.
It is a great park! It had several children's play areas, venues for weddings, a track, pond for fishing, hiking trails, biking trails and more. $4 for in-state & $8 for out of state. Pay with a card at the kiosk and enjoy. We had a great time and didn't see it all. We will be back in the future.
I am there weekly for the past 4 years. This place is a truly relaxing place. The mix of the track, the pond, the stables, the disc golf course and open fields, along with the picnic areas, not to miss the wedding facilities which are far from the activity areas, creates the special atmosphere you take for granted but…
Getting married at Bellevue State Park
Bellevue State Park comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
