Picnic & Games!

Details of
The Day:

SITU’s 2024 Late Summer Activity will be a day of Picnicing, Games & Conversation!  

 

This year we are getting together to enjoy the late summer weather by playing traditional lawn games that our families played in previous times. 

 

Outdoor pastimes of the 19th and 20th centuries were a reflection of the cultural, social, and technological developments of the eras.  During this time, people embraced the benefits of spending time outdoors and engaging in physical activities. 

 

One of the beloved outdoor pastimes was a lively game of croquet.  This game gained popularity due to its accessibility and simplicity.  Croquet involved hitting wooden balls through hoops using mallets, and it could be enjoyed by people of all ages, making it a family favorite!  

 

Another game favored by SITU members is Bocce Balls, in which opposing teams attempt to get their color of ball closest to the white “cue ball” and knocking an opponant’s ball out of the way.  Make way for the competitive players of our group! 

 

Spend a leisurely afternoon eating, visiting, and playing in one of Seattle most prestigious parks. Feel free to bring along another lawn game, if you have one in your stash!
