Battle Point Park

This is the most popular park on Bainbridge Island with about 400,000 resident visits annually and it boast numerous tennis and pickleball courts as well as baseball and soccer fields. In addition, there are miles of trails within the park itself for those looking for a well-protected jog. And for the little ones there are multiple play structures, including the newly-constructed, two-level, 47-foot-long ferry and its surrounding entertainment. The park designed to be fully accessible and safe with elements like a wheelchair-friendly We-Go-Round spinner and extensive soft surfacing to minimize impact from falls. As the name of the park implies, it is closely linked to the military. For example, the two pillars and fencing at the entrance of the park were built during the World War II to protect classified work being done by the Navy.
