Default Bocce court at GoldStar Park

I was at GoldStar park the other night and one of the guys that was there walking his dog said that he wanted to get a bocce court installed in the park.

If anyone is involved in this effort, let me know. I will help anyway I can, as this would be a great addition to the park.

Is the court in back of the South Philadelphia Senior Center next to the Acme still being used? It was fun to watch the old guys playing back in the day. I hope they're still at it.

There's a bocce court in Marconi Plaza at Broad and Oregon, next to the subway entrance, on the east side of Broad St., that appears to be operational but hardly ever in actual use. I would play if I knew when it was open.
