Bowling Green Community Activity Centre

 

6131 Bowling Green Road (Minoru Park)

Thank you to everyone who took part in the grand opening of the Bowling Green Community Activity Centre on January 24, 2026.

The new 3,200-square-foot facility replaces the former clubhouse and provides a larger, brighter, and more flexible space to support lawn bowling as well as a range of community programs, events and gatherings. The centre includes a multipurpose room, kitchen, breezeway and a covered outdoor viewing area with seating.

The Bowling Green Community Activity Centre was designed and constructed in accordance with the City of Richmond’s Enhanced Accessibility Design Guidelines, Rick Hansen Foundation Certification requirements and LEED Gold certification standards. The former clubhouse was carefully deconstructed, with salvaged materials donated to Habitat for Humanity, supporting waste diversion and material reuse.

This facility will serve as a dedicated hub for lawn bowling and a flexible space for a range of community programs, activities and gatherings. Designed to support both organized sport and informal use, the facility strengthens opportunities for recreation, social connection and community life in Richmond.

The site also includes a new public art installation, Welcome, by Luke Ramsey. Inspired by the concept of a welcome mat and the marine life of the Pacific West Coast, the artwork reflects themes of inclusion, arrival and belonging, and contributes to the cultural character of Minoru Park.
