Welcome to the Dunbar Lawn Bowling Club

Opened in 1928 and nestled in parkland in the heart of Dunbar, our club offers both lawn bowling and croquet on a beautiful, natural grass green.  We are a friendly club that welcomes new members and encourages outside groups to use our facilities to host unique team-building experiences.

​

DLBC acknowledges that it is situated on the unceded traditional territories of the xÊ·mÉ™θkÊ·É™yÌ“É™m (Musqueam Indian Band).

Combining the rules, tactics, and sociability of curling with the enjoyment of playing in a warm, green oasis in the middle of the city, lawn bowling is a perfect way to enjoy those long summer days in a friendly and fun environment. Click here to learn more.
