The South Bellevue Community Center’s popular challenge course and the trail system in Eastgate Park will soon receive an upgrade in the form of $903,000 from King County Levy proceeds and conservation futures.

The City Council approved the purchase, which will take the Park from 25 acres to 39 and could see the community center’s challenge course add aerial bridges and a zip line.

Increased pedestrian access and the preservation of the large area of wooded land near the community center will also be part of the project.

A meeting about challenge course alternatives and the future of the expansion plan will be held Sept. 27 at 7 p.m. at the South Bellevue Community Center.
