A bocce league in Los Angeles prizes community over competition, allowing neighbors of all generations to connect in the outdoors.
Jimmy Dunne hopped off his electric bike, hung his helmet on the handlebars and hurried over to the three bocce courts at Veterans Gardens just in time to offer his usual Tip of the Day. 'Think strategically,' the commissioner of the Palisades Bocce Club told the 50 amateur players who had gathered at the park on this chilly gray morning. At 68, he was a relative youngster compared with most of the assembled crowd.
“I had never played bocce and I had no idea what it was, but what was magical about it was that it was drawing all these people in the community to come out at sunset,” he said. He vowed to create something similar in Los Angeles. Dunne, who was a writer and producer on 'Happy Days' and counts former L.A. mayoral candidate Rick Caruso among his closest friends, is the kind of guy who gets things done.
