USA: GamePark PromenadeTM – New Concept for Ball and Lawn Games
Under the name of “GamePark PromenadeTM”, the US company Adventure Golf and Sports (AGS, formerly Adventure Golf Services, cp. EAP news of 31 July 2020), which has specialized in miniature golf courses for more than 35 years, is now marketing a new entertainment offering that combines various outdoor activities such as miniature golf, garden chess, bocce, croquet and similar ball and lawn games in one concept. In an area about the size of a basketball court, guests will be able to enjoy various recreational activities in a park-like landscaped setting, with space for other activities such as yoga, picnics etc. to take place in the same spot. The product aims to cater to hotels, resorts, retail centers, senior centers, rooftop terraces and similar facilities in particular.
For implementation, the supplier installs patented, interlocking modular panels that are permeable for water drainage and can adapt to virtually any terrain. While the design of such a facility can be customized to any space and budget, the introductory concept includes six family lawn games from the AGS portfolio: a giant checkers/chess court, two bocce courts (or one bocce court and one croquet court), one “BamboozleTM Mini Golf” field (a family-friendly mini golf game), two bean bag toss games (also known as cornhole game, small bags filled with corn must be thrown onto a raised platform with a hole), two Bimini ring toss games (a hook and ring toss game), and a putting green for practice.
