Mini-Golf Course to Open on Saturday, July 21
Release Date: 07/17/2007 |
 Mayor Joseph V. Doria, Jr. announced that Bayonne's new mini-golf facility will open on Saturday, July 21, at 10 a.m. There will be a grand opening ceremony for the course the next day at 1:00 p.m., on Sunday, July 22. The new facility is located on West 24th Street and Del Monte Drive, one block west of Broadway. Doria said, "The mini-golf facility will be a great source of fun for the community. It will also attract people to our central business district on Broadway. I hope that people will play mini-golf, shop, and eat right here in Bayonne."
The facility was built with funds from a $200,000 state recreational grant. It replaced a portion of a parking area that spanned the area between West 23rd Street and West 24th Street.
On Saturday, July 21, and Sunday, July 22, admission to the mini-golf facility will be free of charge. The course will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. through Labor Day. A revised schedule will be announced for the post-summer season. After opening weekend, there will be admission fees. Each player will pay an admission fee of $3 to play the nine-hole facility. During the summer, there will be an early bird special. Between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., players will pay for one round and get a second round free of charge. After 4:00 p.m., the regular policy of $3 for one round will be in effect. Children under the age of 10 will not be admitted without an accompanying adult.
Beginning Wednesday, August 1, the mini-golf facility will be available for children's parties and group events. For information, please contact the City's Recreation Division at 201-858-6127. No food or drink will be allowed on the mini-golf course. Food and drink will be permitted only in the adjacent sitting area. Alcoholic beverages are prohibited.
Doria thanked Public Works Director Gary Chmielewski and his employees for completing the construction of the new facility. During the construction, Public Works employees did the electrical and water work and most of the landscaping. Chmielewski estimated that the City saved between $30,000 and $40,000 by doing this work itself.
The Department of Public Works, Parks and Recreation has the authority to close the facility in the event of inclement weather.
