boccie
Lawn ball game
Boccie is an Italian bowling game played on a long, narrow court.
Players take turns tossing or rolling balls, trying to land them closest to a smaller target ball called the pallino.
Popular in Italian-American communities, it's often played casually in parks and backyards: We set up boccie in the backyard for the cookout.
Also spelled bocce or bocci.
