Bocce is a relaxed but strategic game that gained popularity with the influx of Italian immigrants at the turn of the 20th century. It is a calming, competitive way to spend time outdoors in the pleasant company of friends.
Teams may register by calling the Park Commission at 908-722-1200, ext. 5226. There is no registration fee.
The Adult Bocce League plays a six-week summer season followed by a week of playoffs. The season culminates with a Championship Match and picnic dinner for all participants at the Colonial Park bocce facility.
