Honolulu Lawn Bowls Green

Ala Moana Park, Honolulu

 

The green is surrounded by a five feet high yellow/beige colored wall, bushes and trees. It is not readily visible from afar.

 

It is across the street from the Hokua, Nauru Tower and 1350 Ala Moana apartment buildings which are in Ala Moana Blvd and close to the Ala Moana Shopping Center. 

 

                

 

Five minutes by bus or car from glamorous Waikiki, the club is located at Ala Moana Beach where after a game, bowlers can luxuriate in the calm, crystal clear turquoise tropical waters 100 yards from the club.  Also, close to Ala Moana Park there are several restaurants and bars which are popular with bowlers after games.

 

 

The green is in a public park belonging to the City and County of Honolulu.  The clubhouse and the green are maintained by volunteer work from visitors and club members. 

 

The green was constructed during 1935 to 1936 by Australian servicemen who were stationed in Honolulu.  Initially, for several years it was used exclusively by them.  There have been a number of different clubs using it over the years and the current club, the Honolulu Lawn Bowls Club was formed in 1955.  It was the first lawn bowls club in Honolulu to admit women members.
