The United States tournament is being played at Republic Plaza, 16th and
Tremont, in Denver.

Croquet is a high-benefit, low-cost, intergenerational game. Its ability to create connections between people of all ages, as well as mental and physical abilities, is quite remarkable.

According to Jiminy Wicket founder James Creasey, “I have played countless games in all kinds of settings on both sides of the big pond and learned that almost anyone can play croquet. We play indoors and outdoors, in living rooms, ballrooms and boardrooms, on backyard turf and manicured lawns. I have seen 3-year-olds to 86-year-olds playing together. Wheelchairs, walkers and weather don’t stop us enjoying our games.”

The final U.K. games will be played Sept. 2 in London during the final weekend of the Festival of Britain. The U.S. finals will be held during the annual Walk to End Alzheimer’s on Sept. 17.

Sponsors for the Denver tournament include Alzheimer’s Association, Brookfield and Downtown Denver Partnership, Inc. Sponsors for the London games include Foyles Bookshop and the Alzheimer’s Society.

West Palm Beach, at the National Croquet Center

James Creasey and Ron Eccles, President of the Denver Croquet Club, talked with croquet players from 40 clubs around America about how to start their own facilitated croquet program for people who are living with Alzheimer’s Disease. Creasey and Eccles discussed with the players that by collaborating with Jiminy Wicket and their local Alzheimer’s Associations, they could create publicity for their clubs, expand their membership base and put smiles on a few more faces.
