WELCOME

The Kerrisdale Lawn Bowling Club is nestled in scenic Elm Park at the corner of 43rd Avenue and Elm Street. Free parking is readily available on three of the streets surrounding the park, making it very convenient to park and play.

New bowlers begin with instruction from qualified coaches and club bowls are available for use without charge for the first year. Coaches are also available to assist more experienced bowlers, if requested.

The Kerrisdale Lawn Bowling Club began in 1915 and has occupied its current location since 1917, the longest continuous play venue in the province. The club has eight “rinks” and the outdoor lawn bowling season lasts from the end of April to the end of September. The clubhouse has a large meeting room, kitchen, men’s and women’s locker rooms and a small office. There is also a shaded patio. Socializing before and after games is an important part of the experience and there are pot luck dinners and barbecues throughout the season.

The green is always available for practice when not being used for organized events and club members can take part in scheduled open draw, social bowling sessions, and competitive league play. We are always looking for new people to come and experience the wonderful sport of lawn bowling. We welcome social bowlers who play for the fun and friendship and also the competitive players who will strengthen our teams.

Lawn bowling isn’t a sport just for retired individuals or the elderly. We have members as young as 12 and as old as 90. Lawn bowling is a sport for life that can be played by people of all ages, however it is particularly appealing to people approaching retirement and beyond who wish to engage in a sport that isn’t too demanding on their body, their finances or their time. It’s ideal for the sporty person who can no longer play their preferred sport, or can no longer play it to the level they once could. It can provide a fun session of social play followed by a drink and a chat in the clubhouse afterwards.

Drop-ins welcome. $10 per person / per session

* All bowlers must wear flat-soled shoes to prevent damage to the green.
