Try a new class or learn a new hobby or maybe check out our trail system that covers diverse parts of the community. Learn how to grow fresh vegetables in your backyard or try a new sport like bocce. About the Cover: Bocce is a sport that can be traced back to the Romans, but the Italians made it popular and developed the current rules used today. Did you know Clayton hosts a Sons of Italy qualifier every spring open to anyone, a regional Special Olympics Bocce qualifier in the fall, and also the North Carolina Senior Games State Finals Bocce Tournament every October? Over 150 senior adults come from Cherokee to Dare counties come to compete for medals and represent their local Senior Games. Our 8 tournament courts also host the Johnstone County Senior Games each spring. But bocce is the perfect sport for families and really all age groups as an 80 year old can play an 8 year old and both enjoy the game. It is a simple game to learn and we have equipment if you want to try. Just let us know and we can help get you started. Call our office to reserve equipment or check on availability of courts.
