History Of Lawn Bowling

History of Lawn Bowling in the Orangeville Community

Lawn bowling was introduced to Orangeville and area in the summer of 1904 on property on John Street where the Presbyterian Church is today. In 1906 the lawn bowlers purchased property across the street where the Canadian Legion is now located. In 1948 an agreement was drawn up to sell the property to the Legion with the proviso that the Lawn Bowling Club would continue to operate  on the property.
