The present invention provides a folding backboard for receiving a dart board thereon. The folding backboard protects a wall, or some other fixed surface, by being able to receive and secure poorly thrown darts without damage to the dart tips. The folding backboard comprises a first section which is foldably attached to a second section. The backboard unfolds into an open position in which the dart board is readily mounted to each section of the folding backboard, and folds into a closed position to minimize the width or height of the backboard for storing or transporting the backboard when the dart board is removed. The present invention also includes a dart center which incorporates the aforementioned folding backboard and further includes a dart board and throw-line marker. The dart center may also incorporate various dart accessories, including darts, a chalkboard, chalk, an eraser and a rack for storing darts, and may further include assorted hardware for mounting the folding backboard to a wall, or other fixed surface, in addition to hardware for mounting the dart board to the folding backboard. In one embodiment, the folding hinge is offset from the center of the backboard so that a logo or advertisement can be visually displayed when the backboard is folded. This configuration is particularly advantagous in promoting the logo or advertisement when the dart center is placed for sale in retail outlets.
