PRIVATE EVENTS

Have your next event on the bowling greens

Rent our clubhouse, patio and a green for a team outing, wedding, or other celebration. Your guests get an introduction to lawn bowling from club volunteers, with the greens, bowls and equipment included. (Flat-soled shoes are required to go out on the greens.)

GOOD TO KNOW

Before you book

Food and drink. You bring all food, drinks and supplies for your guests and the volunteers. The patio grill is not available for events.

Set-up and clean-up. You set up the clubhouse and leave it as you found it: furniture back in place, tables, counters and sinks cleaned, club dishes washed and put away, and trash in the bins outside. A $500 cleaning fee applies otherwise.

On the greens. The greens, our greatest asset, are for lawn bowling only. Bowlers need flat, soft-soled shoes or sandals with no heel; everyone else stays off the grass. Children may go on the greens only when bowling with an adult.

Pets and smoking. Pets must be leashed and are not allowed on the greens. The club is non-smoking, and we ask that you keep music low for the sake of our neighbors.

Members. Club members may still use the locker room and any unused rinks during your event.

Availability. We host up to two private events a month, and not during other club events.
