Oakley Woods Croquet was founded with the goal of supplying the finest croquet equipment to competitive and recreational players around the world. We soon found our catalogue expanding with more products made in our workshop as well as equipment from other manufacturers. Several inquiries for bocce sets and horseshoes have taken us beyond croquet. Croquet, bocce and horseshoes are a natural trio of lawn sports. All are played at varying levels, from the casual game in your backyard to top levels of international competition in many countries around the world. Each game is easy to play, but mastering the skills and learning its strategy can be challenging. Toequet & Malletball are exciting new variations on croquet, and is increasing in popularity. For those with some space will enjoy playing this soccer-croquet hybrid. It is much more challenging than it first appears and will provide you with hours of outdoor fun - a natural for the next family picnic. The equipment we have added to our catalogue represents the highest quality sets in a variety of budgets. For those who would like to learn more about these two sports, you will find an overview of each on the "About the Sport" menu above. We welcome your inquiries for other lawn
sports that can further fill the needs of outdoor recreation and sports
enthusiasts. Please e-mail us with suggestions as to other lawn sports you
might like to see here. |
