Comprehensive Planning
2026 Comprehensive Plan
The Bainbridge Island Metro Park & Recreation District takes long-range direction from its community-based Comprehensive Plan. Also known as the Bainbridge Island Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan, the plan is updated every six years to reflect community interests. A critical part of the Comprehensive Plan is to assess public service levels of the island-wide park, recreation, and open space. It also looks to the future with decision-making measures and Park District actions that will advance the updated community goals and objectives.
Please see the Executive Summary for more information and ways you can help the plan come alive.
Current Status:
The Park District Comprehensive Plan is updated!
The plan was adopted by the Park Board of Commissioners at their February 19, 2026 public meeting. It serves as the long-range plan for the Park District with a focus on the years 2026-2032.
It is the result of a community-based planning process that began at the Earth Expo on April 25, 2025, as documented in the Community Survey (Appendix B) and the Public Input Log (Appendix C.)
Also known as the Bainbridge Island Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan, the plan engages everyone, including community organizations and partners who also work to address the plan’s goals and objectives. For example, this plan will also update the City of Bainbridge Island Comprehensive Plan and work to align public investments.
