Went down for their open day. It was a great atmosphere. It's open for functions or if you want to play a game. For the more serious people, you can sign up as a social member for a very reasonable fee.
The committee and people were really friendly. And they show you the basic rules of the game with some technique to get you started. Loads of fun for all ages!

Nice layout for office parties with good amount of indoor space incase weather is unkind. Place is split into 2 sections so can accommodate 2 different crowds at the sametime. Very few picnic tables had umbrellas which was disappointing. Well maintained bowling areas.

I'm not a bowler but I was there using the function room. It's a good size, there's plenty of furniture, and it's nice and warm in cold weather. The car park is just gravel, and could do with a bit of resurfacing work.

Princes Park Bowls Club is located at the Northern tip of Princes Park. Surrounded by parks and gardens and a small, beautiful ornamental lake. There is parking on a gravel area behind the club, accessed from Bowen Crescent near the old railway crossing.

The cottage was demolished. And the 13 storey monstrosity was scaled back in size. A good outcome.
