Stairs around Bellevue?

[AJ]

I'm working on the eastside (Bellevue) and I just don't know the area well enough. I like to get some long stairs (outside) incorporated into workouts about once a week. Is there anything like that around here? I know plenty of places in Seattle but I'd prefer something closer.

Bellevue High Grandstands are concrete and alot of them if I remember correctly.

Down on the shore of Lake Washington, there is a park called Chism Park. It has a good hill climb from the water upto Killarney Dr. Wearing a heavy pack, I can get a good workout doing laps...You could park in the parking lot and go from there...

To get to it, go down belleveue way south from bell square, turn right on main, turn left on 101 ave se, blend into 100 ave se, then right on killarney dr. The park will be on your right after ~quarter mile.

p.s. bike shops around have a good street map of biking in Bellevue that has good landmarks and description of roads, etc., even show which ones are hilly and how steep.
