We have both the traditional ping pong table and 2 new circle pong tables. Circle pong is played the same as 4 square. Play well and see how long you can hold on to the King spot.

Carpetball is an extremely popular and simple game. Play against a friend as you take turns rolling the cue ball back and forth, trying to knock your opponent’s pool balls off the table. Once you succeed, the other player has a chance to tie it up and send it into overtime. Normally there is a line of people ready to challenge the winner.

Ga Ga Ball, or Octoball, is a cross between four square and dodgeball. If the ball hits you knee and below you are out of that round. The ball must be hit and not thrown. It’s a great activity for 4-40 people to enjoy at a time. 

We have a variety of traditional sports as well, including; basketball, volleyball, and soccer. We also have an open field with room for football, ultimate frisbee, kickball, and much more.
