Greenspring is a hub for Wii bowlers. Residents compete in the specially designed Wii bowling alley, featuring six virtual bowling lanes.  Almost 200 residents on 40 different teams routinely compete with each other and other Erickson Living communities. 

Some residents even play Wii bowling with their children and grandchildren.  “I bought a Wii for them for Christmas one year,” said Greenspring resident Joan Matteson, winner of the Gold Medal in the 70 – 79 age group.  Matteson has been a Wii bowler since 2007, and has bowled several perfect.  Mostly, though, she has fun. “I’ve met so many people [bowling] I wouldn’t have otherwise met,” said Matteson.
