Oakville Lawn Bowling Club | Ontario, Canada | c. 1908
•
Oakville Lawn Bowling Club is a recreational and community based lawn bowling club located in downtown Oakville - a suburban town in southern Ontario, Canada. Once the site of Oakville’s Town Hall, Jail and Outdoor Market, the Bowling Club was founded in 1908
•
Lawn Bowling is similar in concept to Curling; some colloquially call it ‘Curling on grass’. It’s a strategic game with many modified forms of play dating back to the 13th century
•
Supporters of a lawn bowling club first approached the town of Oakville in April 1908. The town agreed to lease a parcel of vacant land that had once been used as livestock pens during the annual fair. Club members leveled the ground, laid sod and built a small clubhouse
•
The club opened for play on July 6, 1908 with a game between rinks skipped by club president E.T. Lightbourn, who was also president of the Ontario association, and vice-president Alan Chisholm, who scored a 35-30 victory. The male members of the club began interclub play in 1953 and the ladies followed suit in 1961, with the club winning its first league championship in 1964
•
The town took over the clubhouse in 1978, adding a kitchen and washroom, though the entire building would be reconstructed, opening again in 1991. In 2000, an equally important renovation would take place as the green was extended to 120 feet by 108 feet, the first increase in size since the original green was doubled to eight “rinks” in 1911. The town still owns the property today, leasing to the club for a nominal fee

For the past several years, the Police Department has been locked in battle against Fire for the title of “Lawn Bowling Champion.” While we have fought bravely the last two years, Fire has won the title (we think they may have cheated) but THIS YEAR, we leave Douglas Park as VICTORS!! That’s right, our all-Star team comprised of AC Cook, Captain Jacob, Lieutenant Lucio and Lieutenant Cobarrubias took the title today from Fire. In a final score of 3 - 1, our warriors met the challenge and crushed the competition, delivering the Lawn Bowling trophy to its righteous home...the Police Department!
Better luck next year @santamonicafire!
