FALL 2026

FALL 2026

Dear Bainbridge Island Community, As summer fades into fall, Bainbridge Island takes on a new kind of beauty. Crisp mornings, colorful leaves, and shorter days make it the perfect season to get outside, stay active, and connect with your community. Whether you’re returning to a favorite program or trying something new, we’re excited to welcome you to another great season with Bainbridge Island Metro Park & Recreation District.

Inside this catalog, you’ll find a wide variety of opportunities for every age and interest. Youth basketball and indoor volleyball are back, along with fitness classes, arts and enrichment programs, and several exciting new offerings we’re thrilled to introduce this season, including Cage Drop-In at the BIRC, a Parent & Child Watercolor Workshop, and Adaptive Pickleball. Whether you’re looking to stay active, explore a new hobby, or connect with others, there’s something for everyone this season.

Fall also means one of our most beloved community traditions is just around the corner — Haunted Hayride! Tickets sell quickly every year, so be sure to reserve yours early for an unforgettable evening of spooky fun. This year it will be out of this world!

Our goal is to provide programs and experiences that bring people together, encourage healthy lifestyles, and help make Bainbridge Island a vibrant place to live, learn, and play. We hope you’ll take a few moments to explore everything this season has to offer and discover something new for yourself or your family.

We look forward to seeing you in our parks, on the courts, in our classrooms, and around the community this fall.

Warmly,

Dan Hamlin Executive Director Bainbridge Island Metro Park & Recreation District

NEW WAITLIST PROCESS! If someone from your household is placed on a waitlist for an activity, and a spot becomes available, you will now receive an automated email and/or text from the registration system to notify you that a spot has become available. You will have 24 hours to respond either by declining the invite or by registering for the activity. If there is no response to the notification within 24 hours, then the waitlist position will be offered to the next person on the list. District staff will no longer notify you by phone or email unless there is an issue.

CONTRACTOR CLASSES Contractor classes are programs offered through agreements with independent businesses or instructors who provide specialized instructional services. These contractors are responsible for their own staff, curriculum, insurance, licensing, and compliance with any Park District requirements. In this catalog, contractor-led classes are clearly marked with “CONTRACTOR” at the end of the class description.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Program Discounts: The Park District partners with Helpline House to make participation in our programs accessible to residents with limited resources. Full or partial fee scholarships are available for most Park District recreation activities, programs and memberships for qualified families and individuals. To apply, contact Helpline House at 206-842-7621.

IFS Waiver Assistance Program: Developmental Disabilities Administration, with assistance from the WA State Department of Social and Health Services, offers Individual and Family Services (IFS) Basic Plus or Core Waivers for individuals who require waiver services to remain in the family home. While the Park District does not contract directly with the state for these waivers, we have established a program within the same parameters. For more information and/or have questions, please email info@biparks.org.

For either assistance program, please give at least two weeks’ advance notice to the case manager so they can process the request before registration. Most programs take one to two weeks, depending on the program or activity.

INCLUSION/ACCESSIBILITY TO PROGRAMS & FACILITIES The Park District strives to provide opportunities for people of all abilities to participate and interact in recreational activities with dignity. To that end, the Park District seeks to make reasonable accommodations to its policies, procedures, and programs to assist individuals with special needs in participating in Park District activities, programs, and services. Although the Park District will make every reasonable effort to meet specific needs, unfortunately, not all accommodation requests can be granted. The Park District evaluates each request on a case-by-case basis.

How to get started: • Register for the classes or activities in which you wish to participate. Please ensure that you meet the program requirements to register for the activity. For example, you are the appropriate age and meet the prerequisites.

• During registration, please select, “yes” when asked, does the individual participating in the activity request an accommodation(s); if yes is selected, please answer any follow up questions and a Park District staff member will reach out directly for more information. Those requesting an accommodation can also reach out to info@biparks.org to request an accommodation. The Park District requests two weeks’ notice before the first activity date to determine whether reasonable accommodation is possible.
