Bocce League 2019

April 26, 2019  /  Craig Alvey

On the heels of a successful inaugural season, the Peter Igo Park Bocce League goes into season two with a head of steam and a new commissioner.

“We are very much looking forward to getting the team roster filled and the new season underway. It’s spring, and bocce is in the air!!!” said newly installed commissioner Eddie Finocchiaro, who looks forward to a banner year. “This season is going to leverage the successes of last year and look to make whatever improvements we can,” he added.

The league will commence on May 30th and conclude just after Labor Day, with a round-robin and a Spaghetti-and-Meatballs dinner/awards banquet. Games will be on Thursday night, and after bocce, The Jetty will be providing all “giocatores” (that’s “bocce player” in Italian) with half-price appetizers.

Teams will consist of two-to-four players, and we will have two matches (tentative times – 6 and 7:30 pm) each Thursday. So, if we get 16 teams, you will be playing every other week – something to look forward to all week!!!

Entry fee will be $35 per person – for this you will get:

  • A cool Peter Igo hat

  • Awards

  • Italian music

  • The end of year banquet with trophies

  • The happiness in knowing that you have made a donation to a great institution and resource for the Town of Marshfield - Peter Igo Park!

We had a full contingent (16 teams) last year, so get your “squadra” (that’s “team” in Italian) together and sign up ASAP!!!

What's happening in 2019?

January 16, 2019  /  Craig Alvey

  • The tennis season begins in early April. Click here to see all that Marshfield Tennis Club has planned.

  • Late May/Early June we will look to form volleyball, basketball, and bocce leagues

  • Currently we believe we have a bocce commissioner and looking for a volunteer(s) to
    oversee volleyball and basketball leagues

  • The park is receiving club 2 AAU status and will be able to run a sanctioned AAU
    volleyball tournament. Stay tuned for details.

  • Meanwhile, Green Harbor River Rowing (GHRR) will be busy on the waterfront
    teaching and training crew. The goal is to eventually have a high school crew team
    representing Marshfield – Together with GHRR, friends of Peter Igo Park (FOPIP)
    maintains 4 canoes and 4 kayaks for renters to those interested through Marshfield
    Recreation Department

  • The 17.5-acre park – An outdoor fitness facility is quite unique and offers the following –
    canoeing, kayaking, crew, paddle boarding, bocce, volleyball, tennis, fitness stations, full
    court basketball, street hockey, kiddie play area, off street parking and lights until 9:30
    PM

  • An agreement with neighboring DAV allows park patrons the use of the DAV ADA
    compatible restrooms from 8AM to 8PM

  • The park is maintained by a large group of volunteers who tend to the “housekeeping,”
    gardening, The Park Rangers and overall upkeep and maintenance which GHRR pitches
    in with daily routines and keeps the waterfront pristine. Our strong relationship with the
    DPW is always on board for the “heavy lifting,” along with an amazing group of local
    tradespeople that always lend a hand when asked.

  • We encourage those who haven’t seen or used this “diamond in the rough” to come on
    down and experience this amazing piece of town owned property!
