Crown Green Bowling

Two crown greens are situated onsite. The greens are played on regularly by the Ponciau Banks Park Bowls Club.

During the season, the team compete every other Tuesday afternoon, although they also meet some Wednesday afternoons and some weekday evenings.

In 2009, the Club successfully applied to the Community Chest Fund for ‘loan equipment’ which can be used by the community.

The Club welcomes all bowlers, whether beginner, intermediate or experienced.
