About The Paesano Bocce Club 501(c)(3)
Since 1976 members of Club Paesano, (501 c 7) have been playing Bocce at Cedarville Park, in Gresham Oregon. The first year that the Paesano’s owned the Park, two courts were built underneath the tall firs. In the early 90’s two more courts were added to accommodate the growing number of people who attended the Paesano picnic who wanted to play Bocce. From 2002 to 2005 all four of the courts were rebuilt and a new surface was added. As the sport became more popular, the Paesano’s added two more courts in 2006 bringing the total to six. Along with more courts came more tournaments. In 2007 some Paesano members decided to form a Bocce league. The league grew to two nights a week very quickly. Due to the increased demand, in 2011 Cedarville Park decided to form a Bocce Club which today is a DBA of the Corporation, Club Paesano Cedarville Park. This enabled more people to enter the private facility to practice and play when the Park was available. Today there is a league play on Monday, Tuesday,, Wednesday and Thursday nights. In 2019 The Paesano Bocce Club started their new court construction. They replaced two natural surface courts with concrete and carpet. This reduced the maintenance required on natural surface courts and expand the season. In the fall of 2021, the Paesano Bocce Club started to replace the last two natural surface courts with two concrete and carpeted courts. These new courts were completed and opened in the Spring of 2022. The next phase of the plan is to cover the four new courts with a metal roof. Once the cover is completed the plan is to remove the carpet and apply Polyurethane as the new surface. In early 2024 The Paesano Bocce Club applied for and was granted non-profit status 501(c)(3). Being a Paesano Bocce Club member gives you some rights to practice and play in some select tournaments. All are welcome to join the Paesano Bocce Club!
