PUTTING GREEN is an 18-hole mini golf course open to the public on the waterfront in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. This neighborhood pop-up is designed to showcase the problems and solutions for some of the most pressing climate change issues facing our planet.

Each of the 18 holes has been designed by a community partner, including a hole about compost by the Sanitation Foundation!

The designs focus on a broad range of climate change themes including green and blue infrastructure, animal habitat, energy, and emissions. The course encourages players to explore their own role in understanding and solving our climate crisis.

All profits will be donated to local organizations addressing climate change in NYC.

Some environmental efforts made while building Putting Green included:

• The entry globe was made from recycled plastic bottle caps and scraps of left-over turf.

• Decking wood and planters have been re-purposed from the original planks of the Domino Sugar factory.

• Salvaged decking was left untreated - no preservative chemicals or treatments of any kind were used.

• All curbing around the holes is made of 100% recycled tires.

• The course’s turf was created with sustainably sourced and biobased materials from SYNlawn.

• All plants in and around the course are native species.
