Lawn bowling in Village over 20 years

Lawn bowling was brought to the States from the British Isles. It is an ancient game using a green, rinks, bowls and target.
The green in the Village was built in 1995 in DeSoto Park at the end of DeSoto Park Lane. The standard green is 120 feet by 120 feet and has an artificial surface.
The rinks/lanes are 16 feet wide by 120 feet long and serve as the game boundaries. Unlike bowling the play is in two directions not just one.
The target is a small white ball known as the Jack. The purpose of the game is to get your bowls closer to the Jack than your opponents. Each player has four bowls.
