Park Bond on February 10th Ballot
The Park District is proposing a $6.2 million dollar bond issue to fund the
purchase of approximately 23 acres in the Winslow area from the Sakai family.
The former farm property sits across Madison Avenue from the Aquatic
Center and Ordway School and extends all the way to Highway 305. There
is a 2.2 acre lake in the lower part of the property. The bond measure will
require a 60% (supermajority) voter approval to enable this purchase.
Why has the Park Board decided to purchase this land?
The District’s Comprehensive Plan and a report from the Winslow Parks Task
Force indicate a shortage of park land in the Winslow area. The Park Board
has noted that the Sakai property purchase will provide an opportunity to
accommodate a variety of future passive and active recreational uses desired by
the community as expressed in surveys and public meetings. Nature trails, trail
connections including the Sound to Olympics Trail, sports fields and courts, and
indoor community recreation facilities are a few options to be considered.
Why Now?
This time-sensitive opportunity only recently became available to the Park District.
The Park Board acknowledges that recent high density developments have resulted
in this being the last large parcel of undeveloped land in the area. If the District is
not able to secure funds for the purchase, the property may also go for high density
development, thus limiting the potential for a future park of this size in Winslow.
How was the purchase price determined?
The appraisal prepared by Gibbons & Riely PLLC established the agreed-to
purchase price for the property.
How much more will this cost me in property taxes?
Rates will not go up from last year. The projected cost will be 8 cents per $1,000
assessed value, approximately $36 per year for a $450,000 home. However, low
interest rates combined with retirement of the Grand Forest and Gazzam Lake
bonds in 2014 and retirement of the Aquatic Center bonds in 2018 have
allowed the proposed bonds to be structured so tax payers would see no
net increase in their payments for park bonds.
What does the Park District plan to do with the property?
The zoning and terrain indicate that the property will accommodate a wide
variety of passive and active uses from nature trails to recreation facilities.
Although the District has been approached with ideas from a number of
community interest groups, the Board has committed to no specific plan for
the future park site. The Park District intends to host a public planning process
following the purchase to plan the future park with the community.

Dear Bainbridge Island Residents:
In 2015, the Bainbridge Island Metro Park & Recreation District will be celebrating 50 years of service to our
community. On behalf of the District, I would like to invite you to celebrate this momentous occasion with us. The
anniversary celebration will be on-going throughout the year and will offer the community a variety of ways to
celebrate and get to know its Park District better.
The local residents who created the Park District in 1965 had a vision of a park and recreation district that would
initially offer ball fields and a swimming pool and then expand to parks and recreational programs. With the support
of the community we now have 41 parks and properties, 1479 acres of park land, and we offer recreational programs
for all ages ranging from aquatics and sports to cultural arts and outdoor programs. With an incredible staff,
dedicated board members and enthusiastic volunteers, we have taken the founders’ vision and made it a reality over
the last 50 years.
During this time, we have had the opportunity to work with many great partners in the acquisition of park land
that has come to us over the years through a variety of means. Through partnerships, donations, local fundraising,
grants, purchases, and bond measures, the Park District has acquired properties that have become the exceptional
parks, trails and open space you enjoy today.
Mark your calendars for August 29, when we plan a big
Birthday Bash at Battle Point Park with hands-on children’s
activities, music, food and a gigantic birthday cake.
Throughout the year we will be offering a variety of activities
including a fifty-cent pool party, volunteer recruitment and
recognition programs, special classes and events, a passport
program where you will be awarded for the number of
parks you visit or programs you attend, and much more.
We want to thank you for supporting our
efforts to offer exceptional parks and
recreation programs to the community
and look forward to a wonderful year of
celebration! The Park Board, staff and I are
committed to continuing the vision of
our founders from 50 years ago.

Celebrating 50 years!
Calling All Volunteers
We love Volunteers!
The Park District is celebrating 50 year of service to our community.
We have a variety of activities planned throughout the year. Volunteers
have been an important element to the success of the district throughout these past fifty years.
We are looking for volunteers to assist in all aspects of the district. We
will be offering a program that recognizes those volunteers who give
fifty hours of volunteer service to the District. You can select the area
in which you would like to volunteer. We will monitor those hours and
reward you with a gift when you have completed your fifty hours. Your
name will then be placed in a drawing for some great prizes at our big
Birthday Bash on August 29.
Email Lori Mejia at lorim@biparks.org to sign up to start your volunteer
hours in January. If you want to volunteer and are not sure what the
best fit for you would be, we would be happy to talk with you about
the different opportunities. Volunteer work is so rewarding and seeing the final product of your hard work benefiting your community is
unbeatable!
Passport to Fun and Adventure
As we celebrate 50 years of service to our community we have a great
way for you to have fun and experience new adventures on Bainbridge
Island. How many parks have you been to? How many trails have you
walked? How many programs have you attended? We have a challenge
for you.
The Passport program will recognize those residents that attend programs, walk our trails and visit our parks fifty times throughout the
year. You can pick up your passport at the Strawberry Hill office starting January 2, 2015. Every time you attend a program, walk a trail or
visit a park you will get your passport stamped. Once you hit fifty activities you will be rewarded with a prize. All names of those who have
completed the 50 Passport program will go into a drawing for some
wonderful prizes that will be given away at our big Birthday Bash on
August 29. When you pick up your passport it will include instructions
on how to achieve your 50 activities.
Start your New Year by picking up your passport and let the fun and
adventure begin!

YIN YOGA HOUR

Yoga instructor, Lydia Williams, became interested in Yin Yoga after taking a
workshop with Paul Grilley, originator of Yin Yoga.
“The Yin aspect of Yoga (postures that stretch connective tissue) is virtually
unknown but vital for a balanced approach to physical and mental health.”
Yin poses are done with muscles relaxed and held a long time. Yin Yoga better prepares people for meditation and is a great starting point to yoga. ICH

IT TAKES A VILLAGE
Is it time to create a Village on Bainbridge Island? Let’s begin the conversation! Join us for an introduction to the ‘Village Concept’. While most of us
would prefer to remain in our own homes as we age, this often is not the
best option. Villages offer options, and choices are what we all want. A village provides comfortable, safe and flexible living arrangements for those
of us with changing needs. Come to better understand all of the solutions
the Village Concept offers. For more information, call Sue Barrington at
842.1616. Huney Hall
