Be bowled over by lawn bowls!

The Team from Auckland Bowls

The perception of lawn bowls being a sport for old people is a fallacy. More young people are playing the sport at all levels than ever before. Why? Well lawn bowls is a very social sport, easy to learn, low cost, inclusive and above all great fun.

Bowls is truly a sport that anyone can play on equal terms regardless of age, gender or physical ability and with clubs throughout Auckland running social bowling events through summer there is no excuse for you not to get out into summer and have a go!

For more information on where to play lawn bowls visit www.playbowls.co.nz or contact your local club for details.
