An integral part of Key West for nearly 38 years, including initiating the Key West Bocce program, Lodge 2436 was founded on May 7th, 1979.  According to Ed Toppino, the original bocce courts, consisting of two lanes, were first constructed at Bayview Park but due to neighbors complaining about the noise, the city then constructed the present day bocce courts at the corner of White Street and Atlantic Boulevard.
