We had the opportunity to take a long walk at Battle Point Park on Bainbridge Island recently.  The park is large, 90 acres with mainly open space with ponds, 1.5 mile paved walking trail, bike trail, well equipped children’s playground, soccer fields, softball fields, tennis courts, community garden, picnic and sitting areas, and of all things, a roller hockey court. We were able to watch them play and boy does that look like fun!!

This  is a quiet spot on the walking trail, but for sure you will encounter other walkers, dogs, and lots of strollers as it well maintained and ideal for baby strollers.

This is one of the gazebos in the park and like all of the various benches and art work was donated in memory of a loved one.

This is another view of the gazebo across the pond which is home to a couple of families of mallards.

Because of the doggie rules of the park (leashes only and doggie bags provided) the mallards have a very relaxed environment to enjoy their days.

The children’s play structure opened in May 2001 and was built by the community with assistance from the Kids Up! organization.

This playground makes a person just want to be a kid once again. This is the playground of all playgrounds in Kitsap County! In the background of this photo is the roller hockey court.

I found just another spot in the park to enjoy a lovely warm day.

Battle Point Park is located between Arrow Point Drive and Battle Point Drive with Frey Avenue being the northern boundary. The main, and east, entrance is on Arrow Point Drive with another entrance on Battle Point Drive. These and more directions and information can be found on the Bainbridge Island Metro Park and Recreation District website.
