Lawn games in Edmonton
In the height of the summer, you hardly need to find an excuse to get outside. But, if you need something to keep you and your family occupied while you’re out there, you can choose an activity to play in the comfort of your own backyard, or to get out and meet new people while you’re doing it.
Highlands Lawn Bowling Club
6112 113 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T5W 4C2This club is the oldest in Alberta, having been established in the early 1900s.

And, if you’re not into playing, you can always cheer your favourite player on from the comfort of their covered deck.
