Bowls &  Brews
Welcome to The Northeast Division of the United States Lawn Bowling Association website.
Stretched from New England to Southern Virginia and out to Western Pennsylvania this is the birthplace of lawn bowls in this country.
A rich tradition dating back to early settlers including George Washington's father who bowled at Mt. Vernon. In the early 1900's the American Lawn Bowls association was formed in Buffalo, NY and continues today as the United State Lawn Bowls Association with clubs spanning from coast to coast.
Our division is a very active one with tournaments nearly every other week during the summer as well as an annual week-long open tournament with potential visitors from all over the globe.
The Northeast division supports a strong local club base and encourages clubs to join and spread their wings to other clubs and more competition. 
We support clubs who foster  strong camaraderie, league play and social events throughout the year and who seek to promote and grow the sport for future generations to enjoy.
The Northeast division has a long tradition of excellence with several national champions and even a world champion in its past and current membership.
 All the clubs welcome guests who want to try out this sport and joining is easy. 
Contact us today and we'll get you started in a game that you can play and enjoy for a lifetime. It is a great family game with husbands and wives playing at the same time with their children. It is not unheard of to have three generations all playing on the same green. We all have witnessed 12 year olds competing against 80 year olds, grandfathers against grand-daughter and brothers teaming up for 2 and 3 decades.
It is truly a sport one can play and compete at a high level for many many years.
The most common phrase we hear from new members who came to the game in retirement is, "I wish I knew about this game before!"

Come give it a try.

Frick Park in Pittsburgh is, for the most part, a rugged hilly area left in its original state with hiking trails and some picnic areas but with very little landscaping to change its natural appearance. However one small level portion of the land, which was given to the City by industrialist Henry Clay Frick in 1919, extends into a very nice residential area adjacent to the Frick estate. This part of the park was an ideal location for some type of recreation that might be popular and at the same time be of landscape value in beautifying and enhancing the neighborhood. It was determined that a bowling green would be ideal, and after considerable discussion and research, the Frick Park Bowling Green was planned and work was started in 1935 with the general grading, drainage and other preparatory work. In 1936 the seed bed was prepared and nurtured through 1937. No play was permitted until the following year and the first game was played on Saturday afternoon, May 15, 1938. At the time the club had 33 members and was under the leadership of John H. Elliot, the first President.
