For over 50 years, the Bainbridge Island Metro Park & Recreation District has served the community by stewardship of parks and providing recreational and cultural programs to Islanders of all ages. Many of the recent Open Space purchases have been transferred to the Park District, increasing the Island’s park inventory to over 1500 acres, over 90% of which is protected open space.

The Park District is committed to providing a wide variety of leisure programs for all ages and interest groups, including senior citizens and persons with disabilities. The recreation program is supported in a significant way by user fees, with your class fees being subsidized by tax dollars.

The Park District works in partnership with non-profit agencies such as the Bainbridge Island Land Trust and the Bainbridge Island Parks & Trails Foundation.
