An Ohio mayor says he's slowing down plans to move a bocce ball court after criticism that several trees were cut down at the new location without notice.
The court in downtown Warren in northeastern Ohio is an important part of the city's annual Italian-American Heritage Festival. Bocce players earn points by competing to roll balls the closest to to a single target ball.
The Warren Tribune Chronicle reports that the city's plan to move the court to a nearby park and the tree removal angered historical groups. Plan opponents pointed out that many cities use portable bocce courts.
