Northside Bocce Club

What is it?

Bocce is a traditional Italian outdoor bowling game. It is easy to learn and fun to play. The Northside Bocce Club is open to players of all ages and experience levels. The Northside Neighborhood is lucky to have some of the best bocce courts in the western United States. They have been recently renovated with new crushed oyster shell playing surfaces and are ready to be used.
