Try the Markham Bocce Club located in the Centennial Community Centre.
What is Boccee? Bocce is closely related to British bowls and French pétanque, all having developed from games played in the Roman Empire. It was developed into its present form in Italy (where it is called bocce, the plural of the Italian word boccia which means ‘bowl’ in the sport sense). It is played around Europe and also in regions to which Italians have migrated, such as Australia, North America, and South America (where it is known as bochas, or bolas criollas (‘Criollo balls’) in Venezuela, bocha in Brazil). The popularity of the game spread first amongst descendants of Italian migrants but has slowly spread into the wider community.
