Tots On The Trail - Blakely Harbor Park
Aug

Tots On The Trail - Blakely Harbor Park

Join us for a walk on the fourth Tuesday of every month at Blakely Harbor Park. There’s a small dirt lot off Blakely Hill Rd NE and NE Halls Hill Rd where you can park. Here’s the Google Maps location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/k1bV7gDCGXbtzJ6a6

The small trail we’ll take from the parking lot is across 3 T Road NE. There’s a section near the Generator Building where the kids like to stop and throw rocks in the water. We often see seals here! It’s a little over a mile round-trip, flat-ish, and mostly stroller-friendly, but I’d say it’s moderately adventurous if you plan to bring a stroller. Please note we will also cross a road twice and walk near traffic for a few minutes. We will wait until about 9:15 AM before we start our walk.

If you would like anything from the cafe, please place your mobile pick-up order before 8:45 AM, and in the notes, mention that it’s for the Tots on the Trail walk. We’ll bring it with us so you can enjoy it during our walk! See you there!

Nicole Niehaus Reading

Nicole Niehaus Reading

Join us for our next Author Spotlight on August 22nd at 10:30 AM.

Nicole Niehaus is a Bainbridge Island author, business owner, and mother of three beautiful souls, one who continues to inspire her every day. She holds a degree in Elementary Education and has always dreamed of writing a children’s book.

Many years ago, Nicole had a vivid dream that she had written a book called Do Elephants Dream in Color? At the time, she had no idea what the story would be about. Years later, following the passing of her son, Jack, the story came to her, inspiring a book that celebrates love, hope, imagination, and the enduring connections we share with those we love.

Nicole wrote Do Elephants Dream in Color? with the hope that it will spark meaningful conversations, encourage wonder, and bring comfort to children and families alike. She is honored to share Jack’s legacy through this story and is delighted to be reading it at Bainbridge Play Cafe.

This is a free event that will take place in our play space with free play after for kiddos, but please reserve your spot on our website ahead of time!

Tots On The Trail - Sakai Park

Tots On The Trail - Sakai Park

Join us for a walk from Bainbridge Play Cafe at 9:00 AM on the third Tuesday of every month. We'll grab our drinks/snacks from the cafe and then venture over to Sakai Park for an out-and-back walk to visit Pia the Peacekeeper. It’s roughly 1.5 miles round-trip, and mostly stroller-friendly with a few small inclines on a rocky/gravel path. It’s not a super smooth paved trail, so a stroller will make it feel a bit tougher than it is.

If you’d like to purchase coffee/snacks before our walk, feel free to arrive early or use our convenient mobile pick-up service to order ahead! We will wait until about 9:15 AM before we start our walk.

We’ll bring it with us so you can enjoy it during our walk! See you there!

Tots on the Trail - Sound to Olympics Trail

Join us for a walk from Bainbridge Play Cafe at 9:00 AM on the first Tuesday of every month. We'll grab our drinks/snacks from the cafe and then walk over to the Sound to Olympics Trail, which is located next to Hwy 305.

It's roughly 2 miles round-trip and stroller-friendly. Please note we will be crossing busy roads and driveways in some heavily trafficked areas.

Our address is 360 Tormey Ln NE, Suite 194. If you’d like to purchase coffee/snacks before our walk, feel free to arrive early or use our convenient mobile pick-up service to order ahead! We will wait until about 9:15 AM before we start our walk.
