Our
immaculate and cozy green and clubhouse is maintained via a joint
relationship with the City of Palo Alto Parks and Recreation Department
along with a wonderful cadre of volunteer members. Please see the
calendar section for all the schedules, tournaments and, of course,
the social functions. What other sport offers people of all ages
so many pizza, chicken, chili, etc., picnics in the park or dinners
in the clubhouse?
And
there is no better deal in town. Try bowling for free (we even loan
you bowls). There is a $20 initiation fee to cover your badge, key,
etc. and then full club membership is only $95 per year - however
many times you attend, however many times you bowl! Everyone is
welcome to visit, watch games and to receive instruction from experienced
coaches using club bowls. All you need is a pair of flat-soled shoes
that will not mark the grass. Fellow bowlers that come from all
corners of the world are always available to help advise too.
The
clubhouse is available for corporate or outside groups usage too.
Consider holding your next function by the green - such a change
from the usual boring hotel room meeting place.

In
the lawn bowling public relations coup of the decade, our club was
featured on the cover and a number of inside pages of the June 22,
2005 issue of the Palo Alto Weekly. This local paper is mailed to
all residents, and is generally available throughout the city. Click

Many
thanks to photographer Nicholas Wright for his excellent photos
and diligence visiting us with all his cameras on a number of occasions.
