“Knock Down Pins to Build Some Swings!” Host a bowling tournament. Invite local leagues and individuals to participate in a bowling tournament to benefit your playspace.

Have groups sign-up during the weeks leading to the event. Prep Steps:
1. Find a bowling alley that will host your event free of charge, or for a low cost. Try to know in advance how many lanes you will need.
2. Advertise your event and register teams.
3. Organize the teams and prizes for the winning groups.
Materials Needed:
1. Advertising should include information on registering a team for the event, along with details about the playspace build.
2. Trophies or certificates
