Join us for the International Sport of Lawn Bowls
Hidden from view at Embarcadero Road and Cowper Street is the Palo Alto Lawn Bowls Club (PALBC), a local gem since the 1930s. We invite you to discover lawn bowling—it's easy to learn, affordable, and a wonderful way to get gentle exercise and meet new people.
Our club is open year-round. When our gates are open, we welcome the public to come watch, visit, and talk to our members. If you're a bowler visiting from another club, you're welcome to join our games at no cost. You don't need to wear "whites," just flat-soled shoes, and we have loaner bowls available.

We are hosting the Silicon Valley Corporate Cup on Friday, September 5th. This after-hours tournament is a casual, fun, and social event open to teams from Silicon Valley organizations, companies, or alumni. Learn more and register your team here: SV Cup Charity Event.

BIRTHDAY BASH Celebrating 90 years!
On September 30, 2023, some 60 plus bowlers gathered at the green at 11 a.m. to celebrate the Palo Alto Lawn Bowls Club’s 90th birthday. Following remarks from Ian Harris, club president, and Lydia Kou, Mayor, City of Palo Alto, a brand new Palo Alto Lawn Bowls Club flag was raised on an almost 90-year-old freshly painted flagpole (thanks to the city). Next was lunch, the rolling of a spider, a ten-end draw game, and dessert. A day for the PALBC history books!
