2025 is our Club’s 20th Anniversary!

We welcome everyone interested in learning and playing the game, beginners and curious visitors. We have loaner boules and will gladly teach anyone who wants to try. Come join us!

What is Petanque? Everyone has 3 metal balls (boules in French) that each weigh about a pound and a half. You toss the first boule out with the intention of getting close to a small target called a cochonnet. The intention is to get closer than the other team. It’s an easy game to get a feel for. We enjoy friendly competition, camaraderie, and fun. Come and see for yourself! See “Calendar Page” for list of 2025 Events!

This short film celebrates the joy, community, and spirit of pétanque – and we hope it inspires you to discover the game we all love.

The club has open play twice a week – Sunday afternoons at 1pm and Thursday evening at 6pm. You are welcome to just show up or club contacts are listed below if you need more information. See “How to Play” page for more information and two great videos!

We play at the petanque courts in Chimborazo Playground which is located near the corner of 29th St. and East Grace St., in Church Hill, Richmond, VA. (Click on the blue words for directions).
