Calendar

On Sunday, July 27, 2025, from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., the Parks and Recreation Department, in collaboration with SoCal Adaptive Sports, invite you, your family, friends, and the community to take part in welcoming the sport of Boccia to the City of Burbank. This event is open to the public and will take place at the McCambridge Recreation.

Boccia is a precision ball sport, similar to bocce, designed specifically for athletes with physical disabilities. Played indoors on a 12.5m x 6m court, the objective is to throw or roll six balls as close as possible to a white target ball known as the “jack.” The game is played over a series of rounds, or “ends,” with individual and pairs matches typically consisting of four ends, and team matches comprising six. Competition begins with a pool stage and progresses to a direct elimination phase, structured by disability classification. While originally developed for athletes with physical disabilities, Boccia is open to all residents, regardless of ability, including seniors and able-bodied participants, making it a truly inclusive sport for the entire community.
