NAPLES, Fla. (Dec. 4, 2013) – More than 100 Mediterra residents recently gathered at the community’s unique Sports Club Bocce Garden for the first Bocce Fall Open Play Night of the 2013-14 season.
Additional bocce social events will take place throughout the coming month for the more than 500 Mediterra members who have already signed up for the sport. Social nights include light hors d’oeuvres, a full bocce bar, and a complimentary wine tasting with Mediterra’s special wine selections for the upcoming season.
“The camaraderie and social atmosphere at Mediterra are among the main reasons homeowners are drawn to the community,” said Mark Wilson, president of London Bay Homes. “Many of our seasonal residents also look forward to these events as a chance to catch up with friends while staying active on the court.”
Bocce nights also include an opportunity for club members to sign up for the Mediterra Bocce League, which officially begins in January. Men’s, women’s and mixed team signups are available. Teams compete four nights a week at the bocce garden, which features a paver deck, two lighted clay courts, umbrella-shaded tables and chairs, and a raised planter with palms.
Mediterra, the 1,700-acre master-planned community, was a 2013 Aurora Award winner for best residential development within the Southeastern U.S. and is an eight-time winner of the Collier Building Industry Association’s Sand Dollar Award for Community of the Year.
