Bocce in the public domain. First, we dig a big hole. (Photos courtesy of Elizabeth and James Nixdorf who petitioned the borough council for the courts.)

Whenever possible, shoot for two courts. It's awfully tough to run events on a single court. And it doesn't cost twice as much to build two as it does to build a single alley.

Consider drainage options.

You can't have too much drainage.

"We constructed the courts with a base of nut sized aggregate and then finer material. The finish was called 'Bocce Mix' from a local company, Martin's Limestone."

Two 12' by 60' courts in the public park - that's what I'm talking about!

Lights too!

Play ball! The borough will get a great return on its investment. The quality of life in a community is tied into its recreational activities.

Looks like they have ball racks too.
