Target Balls
It is recommended that you purchase a couple of extra target balls as these tend to get the most abuse!
Court
The wonderful thing about pétanque is that you don't need a formal place to play - any gravel or sandy space will work. But, if you want to have scheduled, organized play, it doesn't cost a fortune to build a great terrain! Check out our page on how to build a court to see what is involved.
