206 Bike Polo History

Some 206 Bike Polo history, and good talking points if you ever find yourself at a community meeting.

The general bike polo history can be found at nahardcourt.com and wiki/bike_polo.

• 1999
Hard court bike polo was invented in Seattle in 2000. It is now a competitive sport with a global presence.
• 2010
The boards on both courts have been built, maintained, and paid for by the polo club since 2010.
• 2012
The city designated both tennis courts at Judkins Park for use for bike polo in 2012 following an 18-month pilot, we have continuously played at and maintained the courts in these 15 years!
• 2020
Since COVID the polo club has worked with other community groups including Futsal, Street Hockey, and Roll Around Seatown, as part of the Judkins Park Council, a grassroots organization of regular user groups of the space.
• TODAY
The courts at Judkins are the polo club’s home and the only place in Seattle where we can play. As the courts have become open to permit and as the light rail opens we look to retain affordable access
