2018
Linden Hills Park
$2,000 Partially funded Installation of two bocce ball courts A new attraction is now available Linden Hills in the form of Bocce Ball. The quiet, social game, often played by seniors, will now be enjoyed on a brand-new court located just a few steps from the children's playground. It’s a great example of an intergenerational advance! People For Parks was most helpful in the development of two bocce courts in the Southwest corner of Linden Hills Park. The courts were finished in time for the Linden Hills Festival last May and then followed with league play throughout the summer and into the fall. More than 50 players joined a league and even played a game on New Years! There are two sets of balls at the Linden Hills Park Building that can be checked out so stop by and give it a try! |
