Lawn darts are outdoor games that consist of heavy, pointed metal or plastic darts designed to be thrown at a target on the ground. The game is typically played on grass and involves players taking turns tossing the darts, aiming to land them within a designated scoring area. Originally popular in the 1970s and 1980s, lawn darts have faced safety concerns due to their sharp tips, leading to bans in some regions. Today, safer alternatives, such as soft-tipped lawn darts, are available, allowing families to enjoy the game without the associated risks.
