The Mill Park Pétanque Club used 1.25 yards of road sand from the city of Augusta to build an indoor court in Room 8 of the Buker Community Center at 22 Armory Street. At 31 feet long and 8 feet wide, it is a little shorter than the outdoor ones in Mill Park. The indoor courts "make the winter go by faster," said Ray Fecteau. The indoor court is open to the public from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays.
