Also a sweet shortcut through the Hillside (15th Ave E, no stop signs)

It seems like a good place to play Frisbee, but the combination of tall grass and metal things sticking out the ground can make it potentially dangerous.

Croquet.

Ahem ... BACI! It's my super secret moon base (on earth). Shhh....

Kubb.

Several years back a bunch of us did Labor Day on the Reservoir: adults, kids, and dogs. Mowed part of the lawn for croquet, set up badmitton, poured some cocktails (emphasis on gin & tonics, which go well with croquet and badmitton), and ate us some good food. All a harmless good time until a neighbor called the police on us....

With the mention of badmitton, I await the first bad pun involving the term "shuttlecock."

I forgot that the police came.

Paul and Barrett, was that the same event? I forgot there was flying cooked meat, and I rarely forget instances of flying cooked meat. Raw, sure--happens all the time--but Cooked?

Still waiting for a shuttlecock remark. Anyone? Danny?

I was about to ask: Who calls the cops on croquet and badminton? The peeing explains it.

I played there all the time as a kid. My parents had friends who lived next door.

Thank you!
