A regional multipurpose park with designated passive and active use recreation areas. It includes large open grass areas with an amphitheater and fishing and seasonal ponds. It is also the home of the Pickleball Founders Courts which celebrate the invention of the game on Bainbridge Island.

This 90-acre park was once home to a Navy radio transmission station that served primarily during World War Two. It featured an 800-foot-tall antenna that was used to send coded messages to the Pacific Fleet and West Coast Naval stations throughout the war. The station was deactivated in 1959 and sat idle until it was surplused to the new Bainbridge Island Park District in 1972. Remnants of the old station can still be seen at the Transmitter Building, which has been renovated for use as a gymnastics facility and at the Helix Building, which is home to the Battle Point Observatory. The Park District Park Services offices are located in what was once the Commander’s Residence.
