Now that spring is here why not dust off the cobwebs and get some much needed fresh air as well as outdoor exercise?

Bowls is a friendly non-contact sport that can be played by both males and females of all ages.  It’s also a highly social game where new friends are quickly made.

Bowling is a healthy outdoor exercise with games lasting approximately an hour, but when playing socially players can enjoy a game for as long as they like and when they like.  At Manor Park we have two greens, so if the top green is being used in a competitive match, you are welcome to use the bottom green.  The bowling season starts in April and finishes at the end of September.

Manor Park bowling club welcomes new members, with or without previous experience of Crown Green Bowls. You need no special equipment apart from flat shoes. We will show you how to play and we have spare bowls available for you to use for an introductory period, so you can delay buying your own until you are sure about playing.
