SPOKANE LAWN BOWLING CLUB
WHO, WHAT IS SPOKANE BOWLING CLUB?

Our clubhouse is the old "Public Bath" house and is on the historic register.

​We are a group of lawn bowlers who tend a manicured green in East Mission Park in Spokane, Washington. We spend two evenings a week lawn bowling while sharing friendship, competition, and hot summer evenings on our cooler green next to the Spokane River. We form new teams each evening, and cheer on one another.
Our members range from early 20s-80 years old, and we come from varied backgrounds. Several are retired teachers, others are grad students; one works on and races old cars, one is a tax attorney, and another is a college counselor. We include an accountant and a pharmacist, a janitor and a construction worker. A state trooper and his high school son learned together, and some young working adults join us now and then. All of us love this game and we usually bowl twice a week all season. 
Each of us started as a novice, so we remember how it is to be new to this sport. We seem to improve over the years, but some new bowlers give us good competition. You will be part of a team effort each time you bowl, so we'll be happy to teach and coach you.

Lawn bowling is centuries old, and has been played since at least early Roman times and in ancient royal England. Worldwide, lawn bowling is most popular in former British Commonwealth countries: England, Scotland and Wales, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. You'll notice that our separate bowls have logos on them for identification: Scottish thistles, Australian kiwis and South African giraffes. 
​
​Spokane Lawn Bowling Club has been in Spokane since 1913, but is largely unknown due to our "hidden" green tucked behind Witter Aquatic Center. Yes, we would love to have you join us, give lawn bowling a try, and maybe you'll want to become a regular.

Though many of us at SLBC (Spokane Lawn Bowling Club) are older, the best US lawn bowlers are in their 20s. Our post-college-age bowlers catch on fast and become competative bowlers within a short time. Come and let us introduce you to this royal sport. We have bowl sets for you to borrow.
