BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, Wash. - New mountain bike trails are coming to Bainbridge Island, thanks to an anonymous donor.
The Bainbridge Island Parks Foundation has purchased 10 acres of land next to Strawberry Hill Park after receiving a $1 million donation, according to Mary Meier, the foundation’s executive director.
The gift was made to buy the land for mountain bike use, expand the existing dog park and for land conservation, the Seattle Times reported.
The property will be transferred to the Bainbridge Island Metro Park & Recreation District to oversee planning for the project. The Park District will also build the bike course and manage the parcel as a public park.
