Does anyone know what size a boulodrome should be - thinking of putting one in the rental property's garden.. :?

Fi,

I think you will find that a boulodrome is simply an area where the game of boules is played. As far as I know there are no rules or regulations as to the size or shape or even the surface.

Fi, I looked this up for you and it says that the boules 'pitch' should be 27.5 metres long. Of course that is for official competitions. I've found that for a normal game at home over a few aperitifs you can have a good game on about 10 metres of gravel drive or hard earth, by only a couple wide. If the ground isn't all flat don't worry that just adds to the fun. :)
