Recycled mini-golf coming to Bushwick

Staffed by volunteers and paid for by private supporters (an entrance fee of $5 for adults and $3 for children will help to pay them back), the Putting Lot will have a snack shack made of shipping pallets, as well as canopies built from recycled sails to provide shade.

The course, which opens for the season June 6, occupies a lot at 12 Wyckoff Avenue that was a former dumping ground for everything from broken toilets to car parts. It will be built almost entirely from repurposed materials.

One hole, for instance, will include obstacles like scrap-car doors to simulate the hazards of city cycling. Another will use recycled soda bottles to create a water feature with a pier-like structure. A third will have a mock bodega where golfers will have to navigate around boxes and milk crates.
