It's Official! There were NO 2021 winners!
Even the Kitsap Kids team barely logged 100 places. So what does this mean? - More adventures to look forward to in 2022!

Teagan and the girls discovered so many fun places last year! They are off to Hawaii in 2021 and wish they had done the Challenge the first year here.
Katha and "The Floof" had such a great time discovering new parks and trails that they are excited to share their adventures on their "Floof About Town" IG page!

What is it? The Parks & Trails Challenge is a way of encouraging people to get outside and see all the wonderful recreational opportunities we have here in Kitsap County. We investigate every resource we can find and have a running list of over 200 parks, trails and places we want to visit.
The challenge is to visit them all in the 365 days of 2022. Sign up and see how far you can go!
We have not been to all these places yet! So we rely on you to send in comments about new places, closed places and other helpful info. Thank you!
All parks, trails and places are subject to change as ownership and geographic issues arise. Locations may be added or removed over the course of the year.
