The Bainbridge Island Parks Foundation is formed under the leadership of former Bainbridge Park District Director Chuck Field. The first volunteer Board of Directors is elected into office on June 5, 1997. The Foundation partners with One Call For All to award our first round of community grants in 1998. The Foundation serves as Fiscal Sponsor for parks projects including the original KidsUp! playground at Battle Point Park and restoration of the historic Yeomalt Cabin.
