Bremerton Boardwalk Trail
Description:
The Bremerton Boardwalk Trail Project consists of a 3,200-foot overwater extension of the existing Louis Mentor Boardwalk at the Bremerton-Seattle ferry terminal to the City of Bremerton's premier and most-used park, Evergreen Park. This project is the highest priority in the Parks Comprehensive Plan, as it is a critical connection between existing parks. It will increase waterfront access in the City by almost 50% and create a regional destination recreation experience.
Bremerton is currently evolving from a stagnant City of parking lots to an invigorated, growing urban area with a newly constructed hotel and conference center, waterfront condominiums, restaurants, parks, museums and an expanded marina. The existing Louis Mentor Boardwalk receives significant use but dead-ends at the Turner Joy Naval Museum.
The City has recently acquired key pieces of property which will form the northern landing for the Boardwalk Trail at Evergreen Park. The boardwalk is planned to range from 12-20-feet wide, be ADA accessible, and accommodate all users including bicyclists, pedestrians, families with strollers and individuals with limited mobility. The public is overwhelmingly supportive of this project and excited to use this new trail which includes spectacular views of the water, city, ferries and wildlife. In addition, this boardwalk trail will be the first segment of the Regional Mosquito Fleet Trail constructed in Bremerton.
The property can be accessed at Evergreen Park by Highland Avenue, located on the east of Evergreen Rotary Park. From the Bremerton Ferry Dock (1st St. & Washington Street) proceed north on Washington Street past the Manette Bridge traffic light. Washington Street becomes 11th Avenue. Continue on 11th Avenue to Highland. Turn north (right) on Highland Avenue and proceed to the end of the street., then to the waterfront. The boardwalk project will be developed between the existing boardwalk and Evergreen Park.
