​Capital Improvement Plan


​Each year, the Parks Department develops a six-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), establishing the capital projects that the Department will work on over those six years. The CIP aims to balance projects across the three Commissioner Districts (North, South, and Central), across different project types and sizes, while also considering available funding sources and staff capacity. The CIP guides investment to improve park facilities and recreation opportunities throughout our community.

Gordon Park Master Plan


Gordon Park is located in Central Kitsap and is adjacent to the Kitsap County Fairgrounds & Events Center (1400 Fairgrounds Rd NW, Bremerton, WA 98311). Kitsap County is developing a park master plan to identify improvements that reflect the needs and vision of the community.

Kitsap County Parks would like to thank everyone who participated in the Gordon Park Master Plan survey, workshop, and tabling events. We appreciate the time, feedback, and thoughtful input shared by community members across Kitsap County.

Together, we are working toward a park that brings people together, welcomes everyone, and supports the community's needs for years to come.

Gordon Field Turf Replacement​

Kitsap County Parks is pleased to announce the completion of the Gordon Field 1 synthetic turf replacement project, marking the successful completion of another Capital Improvement Program (CIP) investment that strengthens community recreation, protects public infrastructure, and enhances quality of life for Kitsap County residents.

Following several weeks of construction, Gordon Field 1 has reopened with a new synthetic playing surface that will serve thousands of athletes, coaches, families, officials, volunteers, and spectators each year. The project replaced the field's aging synthetic turf after it reached the end of its expected service life, ensuring one of the County's busiest athletic facilities remains safe, reliable, and ready to serve the community for years to come.

The new synthetic turf provides a safer, more consistent playing surface while improving durability and reducing long-term maintenance needs. It also helps minimize future disruptions to recreation programming, preserves one of the County's most valuable athletic facilities, and ensures local organizations continue to have access to a premier venue for practices, games, and special events.
Investments like this strengthen the broader community by supporting youth development, encouraging healthy and active lifestyles, creating opportunities for families to gather, and helping attract events that bring visitors to Kitsap County and support local businesses.

Through the Capital Improvement Program, the County continues making strategic investments that extend the life of community assets, improve public safety, reduce long-term costs, and ensure parks continue meeting the needs of current and future generations.

Point No Point Repair

We’re pleased to share that Point No Point County Park is now open, and we’re grateful to welcome visitors back.

Thank you to our neighbors and everyone who uses Point No Point Park for bearing with us throughout this project. We know the construction activity, access changes, and overall timeline have been disruptive at times. A significant part of the schedule was driven by a challenging and extended multi-agency permitting process that’s required for shoreline work and site restoration. While time-intensive, these permits are essential to ensure the work is completed safely, responsibly, and in compliance with environmental requirements.

Now that the park is open, we ask visitors to please help protect the improvements by following on-site signage and respecting any fenced restoration areas so new plantings can be established.

The North Gateway Trailhead includes:

- 75 parking stalls

- ADA parking

- A new restroom
