Who Is Up For A Game Of By Geralyn Hydock on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
Every year, our family rents three houses which are situated in the woods of Woodbury, New York. The area is lush with greenery and there is a beautiful lake which you can swim, boat, and fish in. People ask us what the kids do out there and if they ever get bored. We just look at them. Our kids have the time of their lives out there. Besides the activities I already mentioned, they love to play lawn games. For the longest time, we had rented out a kit at the Post Recreational Services. A year ago, we decided that it was more economical if we owned our own set. Our kids could use it at the lake house or at our quarters.
We decided to purchase this all inclusive Franklin Intermediate 7 Game Combo set. It was well worth the money as it has many games which all can enjoy. Included in the set are the following game items: badminton, volleyball, horseshoes, yard tennis, a flying disc, smashminton, and a throw stick. Also included is the 20"x1.5"x1.5" net, .875" diameter metal poles, six adjustable guy rope tension clips, six yellow styrene stakes, a min pump with needle, a deluxe carry bag, and a guy rope for the top and middle of the net.
I have to say that this is the ultimate set of lawn games which can be enjoyed by persons of all ages. I enjoyed many a game of badminton with my oldest son and daughter. They are quality items and best ofall, they belong to us!

We love lawn games like Jarts and badminton. I love the fact this set offers so much for such a reasonable price Donna. Hopefully I can locate this in a civilian store.
Think of all the money you have saved by buying your own equipment! That was a smart move for the family. I hope you get many years of enjoyment from all these games. I love the variety of games that come with it. Something for everyone!
We bought something similar, not sure of the brand though. We have had ours for about 4 years and it is still holding up great ;)
Having a variety of games is great to keep kids entertained. They tend to get bored easily. This sounds like a great bargain for so many games. Thanks for sharing this information.
What a great selection of lawn games! And for only $33! That is pretty amazing! I would have to say that sounds like one of the better purchases that a family can make for a lot of outdoor entertainment!
Wow, you got a lot of fun for a small investment. Way to go!
How fun to rent houses & play all kinds of games during the weekend!! That's my kind of weekend!
This sounds like wonderful outdoor game set to have.
What a wonderful way to spend quality time with the family! I remember when I was growing up, we always had a badminton net, or croquet or horsehoes, or a pingpong table for family fun. Good exercise too! This sounds like a wonderful time for all, and a great game set!
