JOIN US FOR A BOCCEBALL PARTY @ SAN JOSE’s LAKE ALMADEN PARK SAT, JUNE 24 2023
The place has bathrooms, water fountains, picnic tables and 4 very nice courts. Also there is an enjoyable half mile path around the lake. Haven’t played before? Basically, you roll your bocce ball as close as possible to a small target ball (called a pallino) for points. Teams can be 1, 2 or 4 per end.
DIRECTIONS: From hwy 85 going SE, take Almaden Expwy. S (Left) for about a mile. Turn L onto Coleman Rd. and turn R onto Winfield Blvd. (1st stop light) toward the Lake. Parking is free on both sides of the road. Park near the entrance shack near the end of the road near a Stop sign or pay $5 at the shack to park inside if necessary. The courts are toward the lake about 100 ft. from the road near the entrance shack. There is a sign nearby with basic rules.
We will meet at the courts at 10AM. The courts are free (first come, first served). I and several other members have bocce ball sets. You can bring lunch or meet others for lunch locally after the games.
To sign up, contact Hoyt Nelson at bocce@niseiskiclub.org Hope to see you there.
