Pétanque in Charlotte - Free - Join Us!

You're invited! Please join our fun, easy and relaxing group playing Pétanque on the second and third Saturday each month! Beginners are not just welcome, but encouraged to join. Just bring yourself and your friends! This is a free game for ages 8 to 80+. Everyone gets to play! Pétanque is a strategy and skill game similar to Bocce. The game goes by the name Boules in France. There is equipment (boules) you can use and we will teach you how to play. Play starts at 1 pm on the second and third Saturdays of each month in the winter (10am in the hotter months) at Nevin Park Pétanque Courts in Charlotte NC. Seriously, just show up and try it - we think you'll enjoy it. If you are new to pétanque, come early around 12:30 pm and you'll get a quick lesson before regular play starts. We would love to meet you. Please call or message us through MeetUp if you have a larger group to assure we have enough equipment and folks to teach. Directions: Nevin Park can be found at 6000 Statesville Rd, Charlotte, NC 28269. You'll drive into the park for almost a mile to the first stop sign that will have a list of areas with one of them listed as HORSESHOES (or something similar). Turn left at that stop sign. You will then park in that parking lot. You will see a pavilion and a playground on the left of your car after you have turned left at the stop sign. After you have parked in that parking area, you'll walk to the top of the rise past the shuffle board area just to the right of the playground. We play on previously created bocce courts which are perfect so far as we're concerned. https://maps.app.goo.gl/o4zyMfjDQAfX9yHVA Reach out via MeetUp to confirm play if weather is a concern and we'll do our very best to reply and see the message.
