••• I was walking on Pier 25 today, admiring it, when I noticed that no one was playing mini golf. I figured it was the weather, but on the south side, a man was working on the mechanical guts under the pier said it wouldn’t be opening for a month or so. Waiting for confirmation from the Hudson River Park folks; stay tuned…. No one was at the skate park, either, which could’ve been for various reasons. Anyway, here’s what the N. Moore entrance looks like. UPDATE: “There is still work being done to finish the adjacent building’s interior, but that’s not the reason mini golf is closed,” wrote the Hudson River Park Trust’s David Katz. “The mini golf concession will operate under a schedule determined by the operator—Manhattan Youth. We do not require concessionaires to operate in the winter when they would have to pay their staff to handle very few if any customers. Unless there is an exceptionally warm break in the winter weather, mini golf, the snack concession and volleyball will open in the spring. The skate park was only closed because of bad weather. It’s open now, and will remain open when the weather is good.”
