Hastings Park Bicycle and Pedestrian routes

To maintain the safety of the public during the construction of the amphitheatre, the PNE is making some changes to the shared pedestrian/cyclist routes through Hastings Park. A new site map will be posted here and installed throughout the site in the coming weeks

Italian Gardens Repair Work

Beginning September 27, the water fountain in the Italian Gardens will be fenced off for repairs to the underground pipes, which are leaking and causing water seepage up around the middle area adjacent to the park benches. The work is expected to take 4 to 10 weeks, depending on the extent of the  repairs.

Areas of Hastings Park open to the general public include Momiji Garden, the Sanctuary, the basketball court, bocce ball courts, and the children’s playground.
