Meeting The Future Needs of Kitsap Communities: The KPFD is currently involved in two key community projects.

• Gordon Field - In April 2011, construction started on the first of two artificial turf multi-use fields at the Gordon Field portion of the Fairgrounds. The $1.2 million project will allow year round use for soccer, rugby and lacrosse. The second field will be undertaken when funding permits.

• North Kitsap Regional Event Center,
located in and around the North Kitsap High School campus, it is planned to include a multi-use recreation and cultural complex; renovated ball fields; and an enhanced pool and performance center.

The KPFD is working closely with project partners, the City of Poulsbo, NK School District and Kitsap County. Please watch this web site for updates as this project develops. More North Kitsap Regional Center information.

Phase 1: Four different partners cooperated in the $2.2 million project - the PFD, Kitsap county, City of Poulsbo and NK School District -  to provide artificial turf and resurfaced track for the Stadium, and artificial turf and lights at strawberry Field. The project was completed in November of 2008.



In 2004, the Kitsap Public Facilities District (KPFD) achieved its goal of transforming the Kitsap Fairgrounds and completing the new Kitsap Conference Center at Bremerton Harborside, a cornerstone of Bremerton’s 5-year revitalization program. Following is a brief overview.

• Kitsap Conference Center at Bremerton Harborside
KPFD is proud to have helped fund the new Kitsap Conference Center at Bremerton Harborside. This beautiful waterfront facility opened in August 2004 and can host groups from 10 to 750.

The facility is already exceeding booking projections. The Kitsap Conference Center and adjoining public plaza, fountains and shops are spurring economic growth and will provide enjoyment to Kitsap residents and visitors for years to come. More Kitsap Conference Center information.

• Kitsap Fairgrounds & Event Center
KPFD funding initiated Fairgrounds Renovation-Phase I. The result transformed the Fairgrounds and Pavilion into a tournament-quality indoor/outdoor multi-sport complex for soccer, baseball, softball, tennis, basketball, badminton, wrestling and volleyball.

This regional center features the 40,000 sq. ft. Pavilion with a multi-sports gymnasium, breakout rooms and elevated seating for major special events. The site includes event camping sites and environmentally sensitive parking lots.

In 2005, KPFD will begin Fairgrounds Renovation - Phase II which involves taking inventory of all sports facilities in the County to establish priorities and then building additional facilities at the Fairgrounds. Please watch this site for update on this project. More Kitsap Fairgrounds information.
 

• Phase II Renovation - involved taking inventory of all sports facilities in the County to establish priorities and then building additional facilities at the Fairgrounds. Improvements have been made to the Loeb Field baseball complex and it has qualified for the 2012 13-year old Babe Ruth World Series, to be held in the latter part of August, 2012.
