Park Springs the Chosen Venue for Senior Olympics Wii Bowling
Posted by: | Comments
Over the years Wii bowling has grown to be one of the most popular past times at continuing care retirement community, Park Springs in Stone Mountain, Georgia.
Boomers come out in droves for the bowling league. Each participant has his or her own “Mii” (Wii personality), custom designed to look as much (or little) as like the player as preferred. Tournaments are held and at the end of the “season” one of the Park Springs Members is declared the winner.
With such a robust league already in place, it’s no wonder that the community was chosen as the venue for the sport’s DeKalb County Senior Olympic games. Park Spring’s member Floyd Fawcett oversees all of the Wii Bowling activities at Park Springs and instituted a Wii bowling league two years ago after playing for the first time with his grandchildren.
