We are a greater Boston area group of people who enjoy playing Boules de Pétanque, an international sport of French origin which traces its roots to bowling games played centuries ago in Roman times. We play at various suitable locations in and around the Boston area. In 2009, we've had to look for a new home due to construction at our former regular venue. We've lately played at Perry Park in Somerville, 15-20 minutes walk from Harvard Square. If you drive, there's ample street parking around the park. See "Links" at left to see Google map information.

There are also other places we sometimes play when we've got a quorum (e.g., Commonwealth Avenue mall at Charlesgate near Kenmore Square, on Rose Kennedy Greenway infront of InterContinental Hotel on Atlantic Ave.)

Players of all levels, from beginner to enthusiast, are welcome to join us.

PLEASE CHECK THE CALENDAR AT LEFT TO SEE WHEN AND WHERE WE ARE SCHEDULED TO PLAY. We also use this Yahoo Group to communicate and coordinate among members seeking to find players for additional ad hoc pétanque matches. You can also learn more about the club on Facebook, etc. at the "Links" tab at left.
