Tacoma Lawn Bowling Club Open Day @ Wright Park (entry via 6th Avenue)

Apr 26 @ 12:00 pm – 3:00 pm

The Tacoma Lawn Bowling Club, a longtime community fixture since its founding in 1929, will celebrate the start of its 2025 season with a free Open Day on Saturday, April 26, from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Wright Park (entry via 6th Avenue).

Lawn bowling is a strategic, social, and accessible sport played on a finely maintained grass surface known as a “green.” Tacoma’s historic green has been in the park since 1936, opening that year thanks to fundraising efforts by the local community. Today, the Club boasts a growing membership of over 50 individuals and proudly partners with Parks Tacoma to maintain the green and offers inclusive programs for people of varying ages and skill levels.

“As a local community club managed by passionate volunteers, we’re excited to invite the public to come along, meet us, and try the sport for themselves,” said Laura Moscatello, President of the Tacoma Lawn Bowling Club. “At the Open

Day, we’ll have live music, snacks, games, and a welcoming atmosphere.”

The Club’s popular learn-to-bowl program returns this year. The two-session course is designed for beginners, covering everything from technique and etiquette to teamwork and tournament play. Sessions run on the following Saturday

mornings, 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.:

o May 17 & 24

o June 7 & 14

o July 12 & 19

“Whether you’ve never heard of lawn bowling or you’re ready to compete, we’d love to meet you!”, said Moscatello.

Open Day is a family-friendly event. April 26, 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., Wright Park near the corner of Yakima Avenue, behind the lion statues.
