Newhall Park – Open Play Season
Bocce Ball Open Play – Newhall Park Concord
The Bocce Ball Open season play is from May to October. We begin play at 8:30 am and play on the Bocce courts in Newhall Park, Concord. Newhall Park is located on Turtle Creek Rd. between Treat Blvd. and Ayers Rd. Play is open to all SIR members and partners. You do not require any knowledge of the game as we will show you how to play and explain the rules that govern the game of Bocce Ball. We provide all the equipment (Bocce Balls and score boards). I organize whoever comes to play into teams. If you have any questions, please call the Activity Chairman.
1. We only play until 10:30 and as a result some games may end early.
2. Whoever is ahead at 10:30 wins the game.
3. We play till the October time frame. It depends on the status of the weather (rain) and the condition of the courts (full of leaves).
