Lewis Creek Park is a well-maintained grass park with good views of the natural landscape surrounding it, alongside sport fields and walking paths. The entrance of the park and the parking lot is accessible from the roadside, located in Southern Bellevue near a neighborhood residential area. The visitor center is right next to the park's entrance, which has maps and information about the park's walkways and trails - as well as the adjacent hiking path systems. On a sunny summer day, the weather is very bright around noon, with not too many trees that block the sky. The walking paths at the park are noticeably clean and well paved, which add to the organized and maintained nature of the park. With plenty of trails and natural landscapes, it is a good place to bring along pets for walking. Like many other Bellevue urban parks, there are playgrounds and sport fields that usually attract families throughout the daytime.
Generally, the park is not too busy during regular visiting hours, with the parking lot only being halfway full with plenty of open spaces. The park itself is not very big either, with moderately long walking paths that loop around the parking lot, grass fields, and basketball court. There aren't any wildlife visible at the park with the exception of occasional birds sitting in the trees, although there are plenty of trees and plants as a part of the natural park scenery. A large part of the park is next to a grassy and overgrown marsh area, with terrain that leads towards the hiking trails and forest. As a part of the Lewis Creek natural area, the meadows and streams in the wetlands lead through the park and forest, which is a habitat for small wildlife. At the end of the park, a wood signs marks the beginning of the Lewis Creek hiking trails, which gives a closer look at the natural vegetation surrounding the park as well as the forest walking trails.
