With over 575 active members, Rotary Park is North America's largest lawn bowling club — and one of Calgary's most active outdoor communities. We have leagues for every style of play, from casual social nights to competitive matches, including our popular Thursday Night Pride League.
Membership renews every spring for returning members first. New member spots are limited. We'd love to have you, but don't wait too long.
Private Events:
From corporate team building to birthday parties and neighbourhood gatherings, Rotary Park is one of Calgary's most unique event venues. The greens, the clubhouse, and The Ditch are yours for the day.
Club Rules & FAQ:
-
Our season runs from late May to late September, weather permitting. Our greens are equipped with overhead lighting to accommodate shorter evenings later in the season.Please dress appropriately for the weather and your comfort.
-
Not even a little. We've taught complete beginners and welcomed seasoned players alike. All you need to bring is flat-soled shoes.
-
Just flat-soled footwear. Runners, sandals, deck shoes, or even bare feet all work. We supply everything else, including bowls, jacks, and mats. Heeled footwear isn't permitted on the greens.
-
You're welcome to bring your own food — just be prepared to pay the snack tax (our Club President accepts payment in kind). We also have a vending machine in the clubhouse for a quick snack fix.
Outside alcohol isn't permitted during league play — but with local craft beer, wine, and cold drinks available at The Ditch, you won't need to.
