Field Notes: Pop-up Bocce Court
Never underestimate what some green astroturf and timbers can do to activate an empty or underutilized public space. We loved stumbling across this pop-up bocce court in Millburn, New Jersey.
Something else they got right was clustering movable furniture, planters, and public art elements. Altogether it made a nice unexpected outdoor gathering space.
Only thing lacking is to get the bocce court surface as level as possible. Every ball we threw kind of rolled off into the corner. We recommend to quickly activate underutilized spaces by adding features like this.
