Pritchard Park encompasses a fifty-acre site located at the eastern end of Eagle Harbor on Bainbridge Island in the State of Washington. Prominently positioned on the harbor’s southern shore and overlooking the entrance of the bay, it is notable for its varied topography, its many natural features—including nearly a mile of shoreline—and its unparalleled vistas of water, mountains, cities and forests. Pritchard Park is destined to become one of Bainbridge Island’s and the region’s most valuable public assets.
The Point
The most prominent aspect of the Park is the Point (“the Point”), an approximately eight-acre sand spit where a chemical wood treatment plant operated for more than eighty years, commencing in 1902 and is currently under a Superfund clean-up operation as provided by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). The general public is prohibited from entering the Point.
