Easter Egg Hunt Recap
The Recreation and Parks Department held its annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, March 30.
Hundreds of children eagerly combed the fields at St Paul’s for candy and prizes and searched for a special egg that could win them a nice Easter Basket full of goodies. The event was once again a huge success and everyone had a wonderful time. Some of the prizes included free games of mini golf at the newly renovated mini golf course at Community Park.
If you haven’t visited it yet, it is open from 12noon to 8pm, 7 days a week for the Spring season.
Thanks to all that attended.
Mini Golf is Open!
Our newly renovated 18 hole miniature golf course is open to residents and their guests to enjoy. This "traditional" mini golf course provides enjoyment for both young and old. Our course has all of the well loved obstacles that make the game fun! We offer a beautiful setting with a shaded picnic area, a playground and a snack bar. The course is located behind the Garden City Pool complex, adjacent to the Tennis Center.

Spotted Lanternfly Information
The Spotted Lanternfly has reached Garden City, and we are asking residents to be on the lookout for this invasive pest.
Spotted lanternfly (SLF) is an invasive insect from Asia that primarily feeds on a wide variety of plants such as grapevine, hops, maple, walnut, fruit trees and others. This insect could impact New York's forests as well as the agricultural and tourism industries.
We are asking all residents to look for the Lantern Fly, and if seen, to please squish them.
PLEASE NOTE: As of August 7 2023, the Department of Agriculture is no longer asking residents to report sightings of the Lantern Fly to them.
