BOCCE PLAYERS NOT SATISFIED WITH NEW COURTS Bocce players at Juniper Valley Park called foul on the Parks Department’s attempt to fix aspects of the courts that they feel are not up to par. Last summer the bocce courts, located near the corner of 79th Street and Juniper Boulevard North in Middle Village, received an $850,000 renovation. But shortly after the courts reopened, players were unhappy with the design of the courts, claiming that they were not pitched correctly, leading to buildup of water on the courts after periods of rain.
