​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.

Point No Point Repair

Efforts to restore and improve the shoreline at Point No Point Park following the damage sustained during the 2022/2023 winter storms continue. This multi-phase project is designed to repair the beach and infrastructure while enhancing shoreline resilience for future conditions.

Phase 1 – Repairs Completed

Phase 1 of the project was completed in 2023 and included importing sand and rock materials to restore the north beach to pre-storm elevations.

Phase 2 – Improvements Underway.

The Point No Point restoration project has progressed into its concluding phase. The November work focused on grading the foredune, installation of pavers near the new curb wall, installing a trail for beach access, and cleanup and removal of chipped revetment rock. These milestones have set the stage for final cleanup, planting, and site restoration.

The next steps include installation of dune fencing and planting various native trees, perennials, and grasses to support slope stabilization and improving nearshore habitat.

Access

Although the park remains closed to vehicular traffic to support safe and efficient construction activities, pedestrian and cyclist access continues throughout the duration of the project. Visitors are asked to exercise caution and adhere to all posted signs near active work zones and staging areas.

What’s Next

- Installation of dune fencing

- Native plantings and potential placement of large wood debris

- Final site restoration and cleanup

The shoreline restoration is expected to be completed before the end of the year, reinforcing the park’s long-term resilience and ecological health. Thank you for your continued patience as we reach the final stretch of this important project.

For your safety and that of the construction crews, please use extra caution when traveling near the park and staging zone. While most work will occur during regular hours, occasional evening activity may be necessary to maintain the project schedule, which could result in increased noise.

The main entrance road and parking lot at Point No Point Park remain closed.

- Alternative access is available:

- WDFW parking lot (OPEN)

- Small overflow lot near WDFW lot – 880 ft. (0.15 mi.) walk via paved road

- Trailhead at Thors Road – 2,500 ft. (0.5 mi.) walk via dirt trail to the beach stairs

We ask all visitors to respect nearby private property:

- Do not stop or loiter on private tidelands

- Stay within public access areas

- Use caution as vehicles may be entering or exiting the area

We greatly appreciate your support and cooperation as we work alongside local, state, and federal partners to restore this valued shoreline park.

Eagles Nest Deck Repair

The deck at the Eagle's Nest rental facility, located at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds, is currently inaccessible due to necessary repairs.

We're pleased to share that the Eagle's Nest Deck Project is moving forward, with the Public Works Capital Facilities Division overseeing the project and managing the formal contract bidding process. This is an important step toward restoring safe access and improving the overall experience for rental users.

We appreciate your patience during this time and will provide updates as the project progresses.

Gordon Field Turf Replacement​

In a 
collaborative effort, Kitsap County Parks is exploring an opportunity with Central Kitsap School District to enhance recreational facilities for the community. During a recent meeting, both organizations discovered they are planning similar synthetic turf replacement projects.

To improve project efficiency and reduce costs, Kitsap County Parks is investigating the use of a KCDA (King County Directors’ Association) procurement contract for the synthetic turf replacement at Gordon Soccer Field.

Central Kitsap School District is utilizing the same KCDA contract for their own turf projects at Olympic High School and Fairview Middle School.

This potential partnership reflects a shared commitment to investing in high-quality, durable play spaces for local youth and community users. More updates will be provided as the project progresses.

Gordon Park Master Plan


Gordon Park is in Central Kitsap and is adjacent to the Kitsap County Fairgrounds & Events Center. The eastern portion of Gordon Park contains two athletic fields. The remainder of the park site is largely undeveloped, though there are walking trails, an 18-hole disc golf course, and two campgrounds, which are used primarily during the annual Kitsap Fair & Stampede.

The master plan process will identify improvements and ensure the park meets the needs of the community. In September, Kitsap County released a Request for Qualifications (RFQ), which is intended to seek proposals from consulting firms to work with County staff to facilitate the planning process. Work is expected to begin in 2026 and will include opportunities for public participation.

Kitsap Kids Playground - Playground Closure Notice

The Kitsap Kids Playground will be closed starting Monday, June 30th, for approximately two months due to demolition and repair work on the adjacent tennis courts operated by Central Kitsap School District.

The tennis court project is expected to be completed in September, at which point the playground will reopen.

Thank you for your patience as we support these important improvements!
