The Figment festival is set to take over Governors Island for its 3rd consecutive year this coming June. Last year David Koren, the festival's organizer, had discussed with us the City of Dreams 9-hole minigolf course designed by a team of artists (photos of full course can be found here), and now the good word is that it will return! And the fest announced that this year they plan to double the fun by expanding the course to 18 holes. It will once again be free, and accessible to the public on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays while the island is open from the end of May to early October. First things first, though, it still needs to be designed, and you can be a part of that. Head here for full details on the challenge to build the course, and maybe watch Overboard for some inspiration. In fact, maybe they ought to just recreate Dean Proffitt's Wonders of the World miniature golf course!

good to know governor's island is back again this year. i hope the bike share is there as well.
This was great but they need to hand out a flyer on mini golf etiquette.
Everything about Governor's island is very outstanding. There's no subway noise, no traffic and very few people to get on your nerves.
Oh. I saw the minigolf last year. Didn't realize it was supposed to be "art". I hope the giant welding sculpture is still there next year, though (on the other side of the island, near the bike rental). Now that was amazing!
My girlfriend and I went last year and loved it. Can't wait for June...
