The new Fort Ward Hall (biparks.org/facilities/): Friends of Fort Ward, a 501(c)3, along with the Kitsap County Sewer District #7, the Bainbridge Island Metropolitan Park and Recreation District, neighbors and other organizations, raised funds to restore the building.

The sewer district, which owns the building, will maintain a small office there (kitsapsewer.org/fort-ward-community-hall/.).
