With fanfare and a lot of fans, a new and long-awaited bocce court is now open on the grounds of the La Jolla Recreation Center.
The grand opening of the temporary court, which had been in the works since 2017, was held June 30 and attended by members of the La Jolla Community Recreation Group, Rec Center employees and other community leaders and members.
The regulation-size bocce court is along the Draper Avenue side of the Rec Center grounds. Related equipment such as a scoreboard and a broom and rake to maintain the court will be kept inside the Rec Center for players to check out.
