The bocce ball courts are a Carry In/Carry Out park site, requiring all participants to carry out any trash they generate in the park, and dispose of it at their homes.

The Game of Bocce Ball

Bocce is played with eight large bocce balls and one small target ball called the "pallino." The object of the game is to roll the bocce ball closest to the pallino. There are two balls per person and four players making up a team. Two players from each team are permanently stationed at each end of the court for the game. A game consists of twelve (12) points. First team to twelve (12) points is the winner of the match.

Bocce is an ancient game of skill, accuracy, & strategy. It's fun to play, simple to learn, a good game to socialize with friends and no training or gear are needed. Co-ed teams are made up of 4 players per team. Must sign up as a team.
