Kitsap County Parks team sports update

On June 6, Gov. Jay Inslee’s office issued new guidelines that allow youth sports teams to resume practice in those counties that are in Phase 2.

Kitsap County Parks is asking all of its athletic field user groups to submit a “return to play” safety plan to protect both participants and spectators; they'll begin reviewing the plans by early next week.

Kitsap County Parks is taking the following steps to get athletic user groups back on the fields in a safe and healthy manner:

Adding signage to encourage safe social distancing for participants and spectators
Installing hand sanitizer stations at the fields
Using fencing to block off bleachers
Disinfecting field restrooms frequently
Adding field markers and buffer zones to assist teams with social distancing while practicing

Kitsap County Parks thanks you for your patience and cooperation as we work together to safely reopen Kitsap County Parks Athletic Fields.
