The North Kitsap Regional Event Center is a proposed multi-use regional recreation and cultural center with ball fields, expanded swimming pool and community performance center. The Center, located near the NK High School complex, will include improvements and renovation of existing facilities and fields.

The Phase I project is replacing the grass fields at the NK Stadium and one of the soccer fields at Strawberry Field with artificial turf, and also install lights at Strawberry Field. This project began on the 2nd of June and will continue through the summer, completing by Sept 6th at the Stadium (although with completion of the track resurfacing, it will not be fully open until Sept 23rd) and by approximately October 15th at Strawberry Field. Some pictures of the progress to date are below.

Special Note: There will be a "Grand Re-Opening" Ceremony of the North Kitsap Stadium field on October 17th at approximately 6:30 pm, before the Vikings Homecoming game against Bremerton HS. The four partners who cooperated in the $2.2 million project to provide artificial turf and resurfaced track for the Stadium, will be recognized for the completion of the Stadium part of the Phase I project.

The PFD contributed $1.45 million dollars of the total $2.2 million required to complete Phase I.

Following are photos of the work being done on the NKREC Phase I project.

Before...

And now, as Field #8 is completed -
with lines for both soccer & lacrosse                       and the special hooded lights have been installed!

And now the community can resume play on an all-weather, lighted playfield that can stand up to the heavy use that current demand requires.
