If you are seeking something new to try in terms of wintertime fun, then you might want to check out two new crokicurl locations in the city.
Yorkton Parks and Recreation has been at work installing crokicurl rings at two locations in the city; Silver Heights Park and Heritage Heights Park.
Taylor Morrision with the City department said the rules of the game are pretty straight forward. The game uses what appear to be the rngs of a curling sheet, with added ‘pegs’ that make it closer to the boardgame crokinole.
Players slide milk jugs filled with frozen water and try to get them into a small depression in the middle of the rings, or to knock an opponent’s jugs out of the rings.
The jugs will be provided at both locations.
“It’s basically the standard crokinole rules,” he said.
The idea for the combined game seems to have started in Winnipeg, said Morrison, adding “it’s become popular in a lot of communities across the country”
Morrison said the City is just in the process of completing painting of the rings, and it is expected both sites will be ready for play next week, in time for the holidays.
