Located at the end of Pond St. Hastings, ON Hastings Mini Putt Located at the end of Pond St. Hastings, ON

The current location is being used for the Bridge Closure Parking Lot

After the Bridge Reopens... Soon after the Bridge reopens, life will return to normal in the Village of Hastings and once again this unused portion of Pond St will be abandoned as the current owner doesn’t maintain the property.

We propose to set up an 18 hole mini putt on the unused green space.

Why this location? Centre of the Village of Hastings Close to parking Can be seen from the bridge, Water Street and Front Street Easy access to restaurants, parks and amenities. Unused land that is being offered a cheap rate
