The Bow Valley Lawn Bowling club welcomes everyone to come play lawn bowling in a fun and relaxed environment. We provide both competitive and recreational play.
It has been recognized as a historical resource by the
City of Calgary. We have one professionally maintained green with six rinks. Our
bowling season runs May through
to October, (weather permitting). Our clubhouse is
available for events year round. Check the events calendar for availability. Lawn bowling offers a great
way to meet people, socialize, and get to know your
neighbours. Lawn bowls caters to everyone regardless of
age or skill level. Come try lawn bowling in a fun and
relaxed environment.
