Bocce
Welcome to Bocce at Herons Glen. The community has six bocce courts open to all residents of the Glen without cost. Equipment is provided and available in an on-site storage shed.
Playing bocce does not require any particular athletic skills. In fact, many people find bocce a very enjoyable form of exercise.
The Herons Glen Bocce Association [HGBA] represents the interests of all residents involved in playing Bocce. Membership is optional. The cost is $5 per year. The money supports various resident activities in the Glen.
