Tuj lub coming to Keller Regional Park
By James Walsh AuGUSr 2i,2oi5—ii:loAM
Ramsey County Parks&Recreation is set to begin construction on four new tuj lub
courts at Keller Regional Park.
Tuj lub(pronounced too-loo),or top-spin,is a traditional Hmong top-spiruiing game
played on a grass field about the size of a tennis court.Two teams of six people compete
to knock over spinning tops and stationary targets from a distance of 10 to 75 feet.
The new courts will offer a formal playing surface to many in the local community who
already use the grassy areas of the park as a makeshift site for tuj lub games and
tournaments.
A groundbreaking ceremony will be held for the new courts at 5 p.m.,September 16 at
Keller Regional Park.
Establishing the new courts was a combined effort between Ramsey County and the City
of Maplewood Parks and Recreation Department.Partial funding for the project was
supplied by the state Legacy Fund.
