After a round about of proposed names and ideas as to what amenities would best suit Poulsbo’s newest green space, plans to create Fish Park are already making a grand splash. The site, located at the northernmost end of Liberty Bay, is yet another testament of the good things that can happen when folks put their heads together in the interest of the community.

Environmentally speaking, Fish Park could be the crown jewel of Poulsbo. Still in its production stages, this baby’s got potential written all over it. Those involved in putting it on the map have had Mother Nature in mind from day one. And, given the players involved, everything from design to creation, the park will definitely flower in this vein.

Passive use parks are as important to maintaining green spaces in North Kitsap as active recreation areas. They offer quiet places to reflect and enjoy the world around us and while it is next to a major thoroughfare, Fish Park will certainly accomplish this and much more by directly incorporating the unique area’s environmental offerings into its design. Little Norway is doing a fine job of ensuring that the public has access to such spaces, and the latest will join recent improvements to Nelson Park and Oyster Plant Park as a serene spot to take a break.

To all who have worked diligently on this one and to all those who will volunteer there at a future date, thank you.
