Hot news from Vermont:The Burlington Bocce and Petanque Club, newly formed, is working actively with the City to develop bocce/petanque courts at Calahan Park.

Although we all know that there are more differences between pétanque and bocce than what the casual onlooker will notice, I think it's a laudable development. As long as the courts are wide enough both can well be played on the same surface and it is probably a lot easier to convince a Parks Department to cater to both games than to one exclusively.
