Bainbridge Island has generations of skateboarders, from those who brought us the first half-pipes in the 1970s to the kids who skate in parking lots and plazas today. The Strawberry Hill Skatepark will vault skating into the future here, build on the success of the Rotary Skate Bowl, and serve many more styles of skaters with an exciting and imaginative space.
The future of Bainbridge Island skateboarding
Strawberry Hill Skatepark will bring the next generation of skating to Bainbridge Island.
A project of the Bainbridge Island Metro Park & Recreation District and Bainbridge Island Parks & Trails Foundation, the 16,660-sf. facility adjoining the Rotary Skate bowl at Strawberry Hill Park will feature an expansive, open “street skating” area with ramps, stairs, rails and many other elements typical of an urban skating environment. An undulating “pump track” wraps around the skating plaza, allowing a long, continuous ride through momentum-building curves and bowls. The park is designed for skaters of all skill levels, and will welcome not just skateboarders, but roller and inline skaters and scooters as well.
The skatepark design is by Grindline Skateparks of Seattle, in consultation with a multi-age advisory group of Bainbridge Island skaters. Grindline has designed more than 300 skateparks worldwide. ear-old Rotary Skate Bowl, renowned as one of the region’s oldest and best skate bowls for “transition” style skating.
The Bainbridge Island Parks & Trails Foundation is exploring funding for this project.
