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 facilitiies at the Fairgrounds.
