There is a park near my house with concrete pads for some kind of game, but I can’t for the life of me figure out what it is.
There are eight parallel pads, maybe four or five feet wide and forty/ fifty (?) long. They’re pretty much flat. There are other, perpendicular pads on the ends.
They’re not bocce courts, which have low walls on the perimeter, are wider, and are not usually concrete.
I don’t think they’re shuffleboard courts. They aren’t smooth enough and there’s no evidence of the painted scoring triangles. If they are, then these are really old and no longer usable.
They seem like they’d be for some kind of bowling game, but the rough concrete seems like it would chip a painted or resin bowling ball.
Or maybe where you toss largish metal ‘washers’ (instead of horseshoes) and try to land them in a soda/soup can at each end of the ‘lane’ sunk to ground level. I’ve heard that version called many different names, varying by area of country, fwiw)
The image kinda looked like there were grass lanes between the concrete ones, assuming I looked at right area) My little town has a horseshoe area that looks really similar overall with the pits being of really hard clay.
I agree fully though that 'shoes on concrete would be wrong.
