The Hawea Bowling Club opened officially on Labour Weekend 1990.

The then Hawea Domain Board granted land beside Peter Fraser Park and, after considerable fund raising and support from community members, the green was opened. A ‘Sports Club’ was then formed and, with the Bowling Club as the driving force, further money was raised and the first club house was built. The club house has been extended several times and is now the wonderful Lake Hawea Community Centre, within which our club rooms are located.

In 2024 our club has more than 60 members. We have a successful and full bowling programme and a busy social calendar in which we hope everyone will become involved.

Mission Statement

To provide excellent bowling club facilities and playing opportunities for the benefit of all members of the community and to operate in a friendly, professional, positive manner – thereby creating enjoyment, harmony, transparency and belonging.
