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.

Scout AI win the 2026 SV CORPORATE CUP!
We hosted the 2026 Silicon Valley Corporate Cup on Friday, August 21st. This after-hours tournament was a casual, fun, and social event open to teams from Silicon Valley organizations, companies, and alumni. Twelve teams gathered at the green for this event. After three fast-paced games, cheers rose as Scout AI lifted the restored Darlington Cup trophy. Pizza, non-alcholic beer, and celebration followed — and with more than 3 times the funds raised than last year for Second Harvest of Silicon Valley. Live Music was provided by School of Rock! It was both a memorable night on the greens and a win for the community.
