Petanque is closed for the season. It will reopen in Spring 2025!
Petanque is open daily, 11am-7pm.
Pétanque games are staged on the gravel area along Sixth Avenue just north of the 41st Street entrance. Tournaments are played on the gravel paths around the Bryant Park lawn.
Needed: A good set (3) of Pétanque balls, a wooden “jack” (target ball), and a rigid playing circle. Equipment is provided.
Most boules players believe that the game is easy to learn, but difficult to master. The below tutorial will get you started playing pétanque. From that point on you can enjoy learning by doing in the park!
Arrange an office tournament for team spirit, or celebrate a birthday party with a French twist. The Pétanque courts are available for party rentals and special events. Instruction and other add-ons can be arranged. It’s a taste of Paris in the park!
