grand forest
7 miles of easy walking trails. This is a perfect spot to bring the little kids, walk the dog and enjoy the dense fir and cedar coverage.
pia the peacekeeper
Created by world-renowned artist @thomasdambo, Pia the Peacekeeper is a massive wooden troll who resides peacefully on Bainbridge Island. Located at Sakai Park, Pia is approximately one mile from the BI ferry terminal and can be reached by foot…or bike!
halls hill labyrinth
A place of reflection and solace.
Halls Hill Lookout and Labyrinth is a meditative space overlooking Blakely Harbor, meant as a contemplative wayside for Bainbridge Island residents and visitors who live, walk and bike nearby.
The suggested path to the labyrinth has 3 stages:
1) The inward journey where we let go of things (worry and concern) that hinder our relationship with God.
2) The center is where we practice meditative prayer and receive clarity, insight, and focus.
3) The outward journey returning back to the outside world with what we’ve received to become more grounded to self and others.
