Sunday Kickball @ Bushrod Park!

BASS presents our favorite event, kickball! We will be at our normal spot in the East Bay at Bushrod Park in Oakland! Bring your soccer cleats (for better grip on the field), sunscreen, and athletic wear and water for a fun time out! For those who haven't played kickball before, the rules will be explained and demonstrated before we start. Depending on the attendance, we'll either have 2 teams facing off or a rotation of 3 teams all together. Then after we may hit the local pizza/bar scene if everyone still wants to hang out. We have a HARD START at 1pm, so please be sure to show up on time for warmups! (We also nearly lost the field previously because not enough people were there on time) See you there soon! 🔴 Note: Please, please, please don’t no show. 🙏 It makes these events really difficult to plan. If you no show once, you will be given lower priority for future events. The second time, you will be removed from the event list for any attendee limited event we host.

Bocce Ball Bonanza!

No walk today unless we want to do one late in the evening. It's Bocce Ball Bonanza! We will meet at the Bocce Courts at Joe DiMaggio Park in North Beach. 1 of our members has Bocce Ball equipment that they will bring, We may also try to get some Pétanque equipment. Bocce Ball is Italian in origin and Pétanque is the French version. So maybe we can have some friendly competition; Italy vs France! Please bring food and drink to share. Bring a cup or prepare to purchase one. I looked into reserving the Bocce courts, but can't figure out out how to do that, but the word is that no one is ever there in the evenings. So we should be good, but there are no guarantees. Also can anyone can bring camping lantern(s) because the courts are not lit. Hope to see you there! Please note: Phone help is not available for latecomers. If you are late it is very hard to catch up with us. We walk at a medium pace. Escorts or sweeps are not provided, so slower walkers should be completely prepared to finish the hike on their own if they become separated from the group, and they may want to consider bringing a friend to walk with them. I reserve the right to make small changes to the route as needed. Liability Disclaimer: The organizers of this meet-up are unpaid volunteers and not expert hiking guides. All participants agree to assume 100% responsibility for their own safety, conduct, and well-being and recognize that possible hazards exist while participating in outdoor (or any other) activities, and agree to participate solely at their own risk. If you RSVP “Yes” and/or attend any of our events, it shall be conclusively presumed that you understand and agree to this policy.
