| Fourth Annual Bocce Ball Tournament
The Springfield Parks Foundation’s 4th Annual Bocce Ball Tournament is expected to draw a lot of interest this year. What has been “friendly” competition in past years will turn into “heated” competition at Centennial Park this fall. We anticipate more rivalry between teams of similar organizations and companies. To lead the way, the Springfield Parks Foundation Board Team has challenged the Springfield Park District Team to a spirited game of bocce ball.
The double elimination format guarantees each team will play at least two games on either Thursday, September 11 @ 5:30 p.m. at Lincoln Park or Friday, September 13 @ 5:30 p.m. at Washington Park. If your team makes it to the semi-finals, you will play on Championship Saturday, September 13 @ 10:00 a.m. at Centennial Park. Isn’t there a team of co-workers or a business competitor you’d like to challenge to a game of bocce ball?
