Bocce (boch-chey), is a Italian game played around the world. It is the fastest growing sport in the United States. Members of the Paesano Club at Cedarville Park have been playing this game since they or their ancestors arrived from Italy.
Cedarville Park has six natural surface courts that are smooth and extremely fast. Nestled under old growth firs and Cedars, one can find the Paesanos playing on Monday or Tuesday evenings and on certain weekends. Although Cedarville is a private park, the public is welcome to play in leagues and tournaments. Teams consist of four players with an unlimited roster for league play. For tournaments, teams must have only four players.
