Bowling greens

  • Bowling greens

    Bowling greens reopened on 12 April allowing up to 15 people (including coaches) to take part in structured outdoor sports training organised by clubs/individuals affiliated to recognised sports governing bodies or representative organisations for sport and physical activity.

    Clubs and their members are encouraged to take responsibility for their own hygiene and to adhere to signage advising on best practice when using the facility. All affiliated clubs must adhere fully to the guidelines set by their sport’s governing body. 

    Bowling pavilions will be opened to provide access to essential toilet facilities only. Please note: Individual toilet facilities will open, subject to the completion of water testing and Legionella compliance.

    Squad training can resume from 23 April, as well as competitive outdoor sports. No spectators are permitted and numbers (including officials, participants, management and support personnel) should be restricted to the minimum number required for the delivery of the event and should not exceed 100. 

    We have 16 bowling greens at 13 locations across the city:
