Lawn bowling is a healthy social sport which people of any age can enjoy. While it also allows for competitive challenges and outings with other local teams, and Dunbar has had it’s share of leading competitive bowlers, anyone can learn and develop to the level they choose, and enjoy the camaraderie of our Club.

The official Dunbar outdoor bowling season begins on Sunday, May 1, with bowling starting at 1:30 PM. You are invited.

Throughout the May to September season, Sunday afternoon bowling is for men and ladies. Weekday women’s bowling is on Tuesday evening, and men’s bowling is also on Tuesday evening. There is also bowling on several holidays throughout the season.

When necessary, the greens can be floodlit for evening matches.

During the year, there are several special dinners and events held at the Clubhouse, and Dunbar is host to visits by other Bowling Clubs. For those who wish to participate, teams from Dunbar also visit other local Clubs during the year.

Dunbar is highly regarded as having one of the most beautiful "greens" in British Columbia, ringed by a variety of tall trees , which provide a serene and enjoyable enclosed space in which to exercise and enjoy the outdoors. The historic Dunbar Bowling Clubhouse has a meeting room, washrooms, kitchen, and lockers, and is used for dinners and other club functions. Ample parking is immediately adjacent, making access convenient.

The Clubhouse is also available for rental by other community groups.

Anyone interested in learning more about lawn bowling is invited to join us every Saturday for an informal practice session from 10:00 AM until noon; May until Sept, weather permitting. We have bowls you can try, and members on hand to describe the basics of the game. Just come in flat soled shoes - no heels, no deep treads. We have regular games every Sunday, starting at 1:30 PM, when there is an opportunity to learn more about lawn bowling by watching club members, in their whites, competing in mixed draws.

Do join us this year for your introduction to lawn bowling, an invigorating hobby sport.
