There are currently four courts available to serve up to 16 2-person teams for the Spring, Summer and Fall leagues. The first two courts located in Lacy Park (now dedicated to Sam Povinelli) were built in 2003 by the Italian Heritage Society. Two additional courts (now dedicated to Phil DeFabis) were built in 2006. The courts have clay surface similar to those in Italy.
Bocce is a great sport that is learned quickly. We encourage any new players and welcome back the veterans.
