Boules Artistes Pétanque Club

The Boules Artistes Pétanque Club is a sports club located in Sydney, Australia. The club's mission is to provide an environment for playing casual and competitive pétanque in a spirit of friendship, solidarity, and fair play. They offer various opportunities for social play, club competitions, NSW Petanque League competitions, national competitions, and for selected members, the chance to represent Australia nationally and internationally as part of the 'Bouleroo' team.

The club's playing venues are situated in amazing locations that resemble the charm of French villages. The main venue, Latham Park Boulodome, as well as the grounds at Centennial Park, provide tree-lined, open spaces with plenty of shade. In addition, Ballast Point and Pyrmont offer perfect set-ups for the game, with wonderful terrain and beautiful views.

The club holds regular playing sessions on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 1:30 pm, with most Sundays played at Latham Park, Rankwick Boulodrome in South Coogee. They also organise games at other venues, including Ballast Point in Birchgrove (often on Saturdays), Pyrmont Park (adjacent to Pirrama Park), and occasionally at Centennial Park. Directions to these venues can be found on the club's website.

To get a basic idea of the pétanque sport, the club provides a video on their website, courtesy of the English Petanque Association.
