With the city’s help, a pilot space was secured for both this summer and next summer on the corner of Riverside Boulevard and the boardwalk — the future site of the recently approved Wayfarer, the new residential project being developed by iStar Residential. The project includes two 15-story buildings, with 522 one- and two-bedroom luxury rental apartments and 11,000 square feet of retail space for a handful of shops along the boardwalk. As iStar completes its design of the project, it has offered up the site for a number of community uses.

  “We’ve always been supportive of the city’s requests for temporary uses of the site, and this year’s request feels like a fun one,” Karl Frey, iStar’s executive vice president, said in a statement.

Peltz said that the space was donated to the company by iStar, and that Barefoot Mini Golf is not required to pay rent.

  The course will be open daily from noon to 9 p.m. On weekdays, the cost will be $6 for children, $7 for seniors and $8 for adults. On weekends, the cost will be $8 for children, $9 for seniors and $10 for adults, but Long Beach residents with a valid ID will receive a discounted rate on the weekends. There are also plans to have special needs groups come during off hours to play at no charge. Although the website and phone are not yet operational, more information will soon be made available at www.barefootminigolf.com.
