The Southwest Louisiana District Senior Games are for seniors over the age of 50 who would like to participate in a variety of athletic, recreational, and social activities. The games allow seniors to meet new people, try new events and to stay active.
This year's games include a variety of events such as backyard bait casting, bean bag baseball, shuffleboard, washer pitch, billiards, bolo golf, bowling, putt-putt, dominoes, golf, horseshoes, accuracy throws, swimming, table tennis, and spelling.
The games were canceled in 2020 because of COVID-19 and again in 2021 because of COVID and hurricane damage. On average, more than 300 seniors participate in the event each year.
