Day 6 of 365 Things To Do In Edmonds, WA – Petanque Court

 

If you’re looking for a new type of activity with a little international flavor, you’re in luck. Recently a new game has become available in Edmonds: Pétanque (pronounced “pay-tonk”). A pétanque court has been built at the Edmonds Civic Playfield. A sign is being prepared by Edmonds Parks & Recreation detailing the rules. Michelle Martin, a French native and Edmonds’ resident, had the idea of building the pétanque court. With the help of John Hunt, president of the Seattle Pétanque Club, and Brian McIntosh and Rich Lindsay from Edmonds Parks & Recreation, we have now a splendid court of the highest quality.

At 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 18, a celebration of the new court will be held.

Several members of the Seattle Pétanque Club will be present to demonstrate the game and provide some coaching. Pétanque is a game played all over France, and is one of Europe’s most popular games. It is gaining worldwide popularity. Every traveler who has been in France loves to watch or participate. It is a very social and convivial game that everyone can play. Pétanque is a cousin of both horseshoes and the Italian bowling game bocce. It originated in the south of France in the early 1900s.
