Play Croquet ....
... at beautiful Lawrence Park!
Croquet is a great game for all ages, offering a rare opportunity for men and women to play on equal terms with opponents, young or old. It is also a terrific activity for families.
Two types of croquet are played at our club: the first is golf croquet which is a great way to learn the basics of croquet without worrying about strategy and tactics. The second is the North American Six Wicket game of croquet using the rules of the United States Croquet Association (USCA).
You can enjoy the sport as a social activity within the club, and if you wish, you can visit other clubs for competition. You are not obligated to come every day, as there are no set teams.
New members are always welcome. If you do not know a member to introduce you, please call the membership contact listed on the brochure front. If you are a beginner, our friendly coaches provide free instruction to teach you the basics and explain the rules. All you need to start are flat, smooth-soled shoes (no heels) to protect the turf.
You will find that croquet is a very economical sport. The membership fees are reason-able and the club has complimentary mallets available for your use. Club membership includes a full individual membership in Croquet Canada. An attractive Affiliate Membership is also available to members of other croquet clubs.
