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 Dream Run didn't have the happy ending we were looking for at Caulfield Park yesterday.Congratulations to our opponents Doutta Galla and Brunswick. Dan ended up topping the Division 3 Player Ladder, having chalked up more wins than any other player in the division. We're pretty sure he would've gladly 'handballed' his Player of the Division accolade to have skipped and managed a winning side.Well done Dan, and well done to all those who participated in the John Adams Winter Pennant season sporting a Princes Park Carlton Bowls Club Guernsey. ...

We came away with two wins yesterday. So we'll be well represented at next Saturday's John Adams Winter Pennant Grand Final Day at Caulfield Park. No surprises that our Firsts chalked up another win. They've been the stand out team this season. However a special mention for our Thirds. They managed to 'scrape' into the Four after a slow start to the season and yesterday they beat the Top of the Ladder team who'd convincingly beat them the week before. It was an extraordinary achievement from our 'Dads Army' contingent.A shout out to Doutta Galla, who once again provided 'refreshing' hospitality to all our Princes Park Carlton Bowls Club members. ...
