Princes Park Carlton Bowls Club

A few months ago my gal pals and I decided to ignore the boys in our friendship squad and head out on what was affectionately referred to as Ladies Day. Where did we go, you ask? Why the Princes Park Bowls Club!
We run around the Princes Park track every weekend as it is so had always seen it in the distance, a beautiful bowling mirage, right next to the extravagant fountain. Nothing had prepared us for the awesomeness that lays inside though.
Firstly, it’s a bowls club and they are often renowned for having the cheapest drinks around. We elegantly devoured several bottles of sparkling there over the day and didn’t reach the $ 100 mark. Winner.
Secondly, we were introduced to a lovely lady bowls member who kindly took the time out of her day to teach us not only how to play, but how to WIN. She knew all the tricks of the bowling trade and generously gave them up to us.
Finally, the Princes Park Bowls club would make an ideal, albeit slightly quirky location for the next big event in your life — birthday, anniversary, or maybe even a wedding? It’s gorgeous, with a vintage feel and an absolutely heart-​warming atmosphere.
We spent at least a few hours there, laughing, chatting and bowling and had nothing but smiles from the more serious bowlers next to us.
So. Much. Fun.
