South Kitsap Community Park To Be Owned and Maintained
By The County
PORT
ORCHARD, WA—Kitsap County and the South Kitsap Parks and Recreation
District have signed a settlement agreement that will soon transfer
ownership and management of the South Kitsap Community Park to Kitsap
County, as well as set in motion the dissolution of the South Kitsap Parks
and Recreation District as a governing body.
“This beautiful park can be the gem of South Kitsap County, and we’re
committed to maintaining this special place that the community will enjoy
for generations to come,” said Kitsap County Commissioner Jan Angel, whose
district serves south Kitsap County. “We appreciate the dedicated
stewardship and service of the South Kitsap Parks and Recreation District,
and we feel this agreement is a real win-win for both the county and the
district.”
Under terms of the agreement approved Tuesday by Kitsap County Superior
Court Judge Leonard Costello, South Kitsap Community Park will remain as a
park and recreation area under county management, and once the park is
officially transferred to the county, the parks district will begin the
process to disband.
