THE Wangaratta Lawn Tennis Club is set to host croquet at the picturesque Merriwa Park complex.

Croquet goes ahead on Sunday and Monday mornings and Thursday twilights and has been doing so since September 11.

Croquet club member Ann Dodd said she was stoked to get the sport up and running at the lawn courts.

"A group of us wanted to start a club at the lawn tennis courts," Dodd said.

"The tennis club was really welcoming and took us up on the offer.

"We're going to have some come and try days to try and grow the club as well."

Dodd has already seen a spike in numbers.

"It's been great so far, we started off with only 10 players but we're up to about 15 members now," Dodd said.

"We encourage anyone to come down to the courts and have a game, we're so lucky to be down in such a beautiful spot.

"There's an A frame at the front of the courts with all the information on it.

"We thank our sponsors for helping us get up and running."
