In the city where I was raised, Columbus, Indiana, our local park (Donner Park) had several Croquet Courts. The retangular courts were sunken about a foot into the ground with a concrete curbing completely surrounding the court. The wickets were permanent steel. We played croquet regularly when we went to the park. You could rent mallets and balls at the park concession stand if you didn't bring your own. We had many a family reunion at this park. _Ar2BurnTree@aol.com_ (mailto:Ar2BurnTree@aol.com) Michael N. Arterburn 210 Marywood Avenue Claremont, CA 91711 1-800-350-5445 Ar2BurnTree@aol.com
