Lawn Bowling

Originating in the 12th century, Lawn Bowling is a strategic, challenging and fun sport that can be enjoyed by anyone.  It is played on a large smooth grass surface called a “green”. It is very similar to Bocce Ball. The main difference being the balls or bowls are are large, hard resin balls with a bias to them, so that they travel along a curved path, rather than going straight. The object of the game is to roll your bowls closer to the target than your opponents.

​The target is a small white ball called a “jack” and it is rolled the length of the green to start play.  Then players from each team take turns rolling their bowls down the green toward the jack. When all all the bowls have been played in one direction the players have completed an end.
