Outdoor Recreation
There are three structured outdoor recreation
facilities in Hot Springs Village: Bocce Ball, Lawn Bowling and Pickle
Ball.
Both activities operate as club programs.
Bocce Ball
The Bocce Club has league play on Thursdays from
March through October at 3:00 p.m. except during July and August when play
is at 4:30 p.m.
The object of the game is to get game balls as
close to the target ball or Jack as possible.
All necessary equipment is provided by the club.
For further information, call Jim Cara at
501.922.3140.
Lawn Bowling
The Village Green Bowls Club is active all year.
May – October times are Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8:30 am and Monday
and Thursday at 7:30 pm. November – April play is at 1:30 pm Monday,
Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
Lawn Bowling is played on a green with a target
ball (Jack), and is similar to regular bowling; however, the bowls are only
two to three pounds and are less strenuous on the legs and back. For further
information, please visit our web site at: www.members.cox.net/vgbc or call
Earl Mulley at 501.922.6079 or Guenter Scharnowski at 501-915-9452.
Pickle Ball
Pickle ball (photo below) is a hybrid game that
mixes elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis. The game is played on
a 20' x 44' court. Pickle ball has three
unique attributes that you will not find in any other racquet sport; the serve
position, the double bounce and the no-volley zone.
Pickle ball is a game of finesse and strategy
rather than just raw power, however, the game may be played recreationally
or aggressively.
To learn more about pickle ball and arrange a
training class, contract Dee Vincent at 501-915-8742 or Dave Mentink at
501-922-0084.
