Photos courtesy of my bocce partner, Peter "Pic" Picarillo (pictured). He visited Florida and returned with pictures of the bocce venues he encountered. Above = Venice Isles Mobile Home Park, Venice, Florida.

The well-groomed courts are topped with Har-Tru.

Looks like a great place to play, doesn't it?

There are still some places that use those pesky 45-degree angle boards.

Looks like they play games to 11 hereabouts. You can play to any agreeable count. Most common in the USA (Open Rules) is 12.

This venue is Village Walk, a gated community in Wellington, Florida.

Another inviting place to enjoy this great game!

Finished with Har-Tru top dressing. For info on Har-Tru click the photo.

These courts are in New Smyrna, Florida at a community park in the downtown area. They feature a stone dust surface.
