Bocce Ball

Located near the Buttemaker's Cottage, our Bocce Ball Courts are a popular attraction for visitors to Western Gateway. We have six courts that are heralded as some of the best in our area. There are several groups that regularly play here including the Nevada County Bocce Ball Association. This group organizes two tournaments a year as well as playing every Tuesday evening. Bring your own set of Bocce Balls for a fun activity.
