Celebrating 110 Years!
The Vancouver Lawn Bowling Club has a long and rich history as a lawn bowling and community organization. Formed in 1912, our greens have been located at 25th & Granville, 26th & Selkirk and at our current location in Queen Elizabeth Park since 1967. For a century we have provided our members and the community with opportunities for physical exercise, competition and fellowship and we will continue to be a friendly and sociable lawn bowling club.
