The White Rock Lawn Bowling Club was incorporated in November 1935 about 25 years before White Rock became a city. It was a time of growth, challenge and perseverance. Over the years part of the Dolphin Street site had to be sold to pay property taxes. In 1975 the City was called upon to assist with the construction of a new clubhouse. Money was not available so the clubhouse was built and the property and building were turned over to the City.
To learn more about the history of the club visit our history page courtesy of Jack Brown and Lois Paul.
The Club continued with the natural grass green and about 200 members until 2008 when a Club decision was made to fund a new artificial green. Funding for the green came from a government grant, a loan from the City and the Club Reserve Fund. In 2009/10 the White Rock Lawn Bowling Club was open for winter bowling under the direction of Evie MacCallum. The season was a roaring success with more than 1700 player games.
Now with year-long bowling Club members are planning a series of tournaments, socials and special events to use and enjoy the new "carpet."
We are a club of volunteers so be sure and sign up for a few events during the year.
Come bowl with us. Lessons are available and new members are welcome.
Lawn bowling provides the opportunity to all ages for physical and social activity. It is affordable and now year-long in White Rock!
