IT'S TIME FOR AN

EASTER EGG HUNT

The Garden City Recreation Department is once again running its annual Easter Egg Hunt. Our department is pleased to announce that our hunt has been generously sponsored by Flushing Savings Bank.

Our Recreation Department would like to thank Flushing Savings Bank for the community spirit they have shown.

On Saturday, April 11 at Community Park, three hunts will be held beginning at 10:00 a.m. with three age divisions: Preschool to Kindergarten, Grades 1 and 2; and Grades 3 to 5.

Special eggs will be hidden for all divisions. Each hunt will also feature a grand prize (an Easter basket filled with goodies) which will go to the youngster who finds the egg marked "#1 Lucky Egg".

PLEASE NOTE - the hunt begins at 10 a.m. sharp!!! Please make sure you allow for ample time to park and walk to the site. For further information about our Easter Egg Hunt, please call the Recreation Dept. at 465-4075 or Community Park the morning of the hunt at 483-2525.

GARDEN CITY COMMUNITY PARK PLATFORM COURTS NOW OPEN!

Garden City Community Park's brand new platform courts have opened for the season. This state of the art facility is open for use to any resident of the Village of Garden City every day during the hours of 8 am to 11 pm. There is a fee of $28 per court hour for the use of the courts. As a result of the increasing interest in this sport, the Recreation Department is offering a new way to pay for the use of these courts - a resident membership!

A resident membership covers the season beginning October 15, 2008 to April 30, 2009. The membership is open to any individual who is a resident of the Inc. Village of Garden City. A person taking a membership would be covered for his or her share of the court cost during the time they play. It does not cover any programs or special events that the Recreation Department itself chooses to run. Recreation Department events would require an additional fee if applicable. The fee for membership will be $ 225.

Of course, if a resident chooses to not purchase a membership, he/she can still use the courts at regular court rate.

To register for membership, please visit the Recreation Offices at 108 Rockaway Avenue.
