Lawn Bowls in Toowong

West Toowong Bowls Club sits on Bywong Street below Mount Coot-tha. Its renovated colonial clubhouse looks over a competition green, with two decks and a sunny beer garden along the edge.

Bowling and celebrating at West Toowong:

• Two hours of barefoot bowls costs from $10 per person, with bowls supplied.
• A member can show beginners the basics if you ask.
• Players must be 13 or older, and shoes and glassware stay off the green.
• A verandah, the beer garden or an indoor space can be set aside for your group.
• The club stays open to members and locals, so it is a shared, sociable setting.

Birthdays, reunions, anniversaries, luncheons and corporate functions are regular bookings, and end-of-year work drinks are common.
