Lawn bowls has been playing in this club since 1920s. Club de Recreio was a dominant force among other lawn bowls clubs in the last century. We have maintained a crop of talented bowlers pursuing a high level of competitiveness and upholding the sport as gentlemen’s game. Presently, we are in the process of rebuilding teams for the future.

We are one of the few clubs in Hong Kong to have an outdoor green of natural grass and an indoor green of carpet.  Bowlers can sharpen their skills on different ground conditions at the same venue. 

Since Lawn Bowls is an inexpensive sport and relatively easy to take up, we encourage members of the public who have not played this game before and are interested in the sport to approach our Convenor to find out more. It is never too late to learn the game and be good at it.  More importantly, it is a lot of fun and experience sharing within a big family.

In the event of inclement weather, the decision on whether the Green remains opened will be left at the discretion of the Green Ranger and in his absence the decision will be made by the Convenor. If either cannot be reached, the head Fa Wong will make this decision.
