About South Park Bowls Club
Our Heritage
Darlington South Park Bowls Club was established in 1896 and has been a key part of the local sporting community ever since. Set within the historic South Park – the town's oldest public park – the club has seen generations of players pass through its gates.
The club has enjoyed many successes in local and regional and national competitions over the decades and continues to thrive today thanks to the dedication of its members and volunteers. Our rich history is matched only by our enthusiasm for the future of the game.
