On Oct. 26 the Sun Lakes Bocce Ball Club held its annual Wine & Cheese event where teams gathered to plan their matches with other teams in their division. It was a beautiful day filled with fun and laughter, and everyone enjoyed meeting other members of the club. Competitive play began on Oct. 27.
We also held our Second Annual New Member Orientation Social on Oct. 24, which was a huge success! New players listened to a brief orientation, and there was a Q&A with board members. Afterwards, teams played practice games to build confidence and become comfortable with the flow of the game, while board members mingled on the courts to answer any questions.

Note to IronOaks residents: The Cottonwood Palo Verde HOA requires IronOaks and eligible Robson Reserve homeowners who play at Sisk Park to purchase an annual sticker to place on their Non-Resident Recreation Card. The sticker costs $30 per person, and it grants the holder unlimited access to the Sisk Park courts from Nov. 1 through Oct. 31 of the following year. You can purchase the sticker at the Cottonwood Palo Verde Administration office.
Reminder: Sun Lakes Bocce Ball Club members play at Sisk Park, not to be confused with the Sun Lakes Country Club Bocce Ball Club that plays at Oasis Park! Sisk Park is located at 11110 East Drive in the Palo Verde community.
