Enjoy the Warm Weather at 50-Acre Park's Driving Range

While 50-Acre Park at 91st Avenue and California Avenue may still be under construction, the park's driving range is now open, weather-permitting. Fortunately, today's forecast calls for warm temperatures and sunny skies until late tonight.

From 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. today (and all weekdays) and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends, you can bring your clubs and hit some golf balls around at the driving range on the north side of the park. Half a bucket of golf balls is $4 and a full bucket is $8.
