Parks and recreation The three county parks in Hansville are connected by a network of trails created by conservation easements and collectively known as the Hansville Greenway. Buck Lake County Park Buck Lake County Park is a park that includes the namesake Buck Lake. The park is owned and operated by Kitsap County and is co-located with the Buck Lake Native Plant Garden, a demonstration garden of plants native to coastal Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia that is curated by a private non-profit association.
