The City of Hastings has issued some updates around the Highway 61 project, the upcoming summer season at the Hastings Aquatic Center and others. Here is a brief summary of each update.

Aquatic Center

The Hastings Family Aquatic Center (HFAC) is now offering season passes and punch cards for the 2023 summer season. Here are this year’s rates.

Punch cards are sold in groups of 10 punches and expire at the end of the current season.

The more you buy at one time - the more you save!

Punches must be purchased at the same time to receive discount.

Punches cannot be split into multiple cards and must be affiliated with the family who purchased them.

You can find the form to purchase punch cards at www.hastingsmn.gov, click Facilities then click Season Pass & Punch Cards, or visit the Parks and Rec office at 920 West 10th Street. This is also where the forms need to either be mailed too or dropped off at.

Highway 61 Corridor Project

The Highway 61 Corridor Project is now accepting online feedback and the website has been updated with the current proposed vision for the project.

The online comments close on March 31.

Report a Pothole

Weather conditions change and that change is what starts the potholes and what makes repairing them difficult at this time of the year. The Public Works Department is out working to spray patch potholes until more permanent solutions can be done. If you see a large pothole that needs to be filled, please call 651-480-6185 or visit https://www.hastingsmn.gov/residents/city-services/service-requests to complete the form online.
