City of Bellevue has collaborated with MacLeod Reckord Landscape Architects and ARC Architects for the design of Ashwood Park.  Located adjacent to the Bellevue Library, the large park is a currently an open lawn with limited picnic table seating.  Site improvements proposed by the team include Children's play areas, terraced seating, and a multi-use plaza.  The design maintains much of the existing open lawn space that is desired by the community for flexible events and play. 

ARC provided three design options that displayed a wide range of organizational strategies, as well as potential aesthetic expressions, while paying homage to the contextual surroundings of the park and the City of Bellevue’s identity. With a landscape design strategy that softens the harsh edges of the existing property while maintaining existing greenspace, this project is designed to provide a welcoming respite within a busy city.
