Raffa - a "strong" (low and fast) Bocce ball delivery

1/6/2010

The La Playa Park Bocce courts are in! Steve Ward, native San Franciscan and visionary initiator of our Bocce courts, threw the first Bocce ball on the La Playa Park courts this weekend. Steve is teaching us to play this great old-world game that is so huge in Europe and around the globe.

We still need to put final touches on many of the areas of the park. The next steps are building three planter boxes on each of the parallel sides of the Bocce court; final grading of the court; final grading and installation of the wheelchair accessible pathways, patio area and elevated viewing areas; and installing a few more benches.

The new water main is coming soon, and the main irrigation lines are 70% complete. The conduit is set for the ambiance lighting.

We were just given some beautiful iris plants that were recycled from another San Francisco neighborhood park. We need to divide these root-bound plants. The irises, along with some Lilies of the Nile will make a wonderful show. Both are hardy, drought-tolerant plants that have gorgeous flowers.

Thanks to all who are contributing to La Playa Park. You are making this great city even greater.

I don't know whether it's just me or if perhaps everyone else encountering problems with your website. It appears like some of the text on your posts are running off the screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This might be a problem with my internet browser because I've had this happen previously. Kudos
