GOOD FENCES - Bowling Tournament

I have often shown you various photographs from Bangor Ward Park, just 2 minutes walk from my home however I have never shown you the bowling and putting greens. What better time to show you than when they are festooned with bunting during a Bowling Tournament. 





 I wonder how many of you enjoy the game of bowls? I don't play although both of my parents did.

I am linking this post with GOOD FENCES.

Thanks for visiting and also to those who leave comments.

  1. What fun.
    And no, I don't play.
    Two of my brothers do though.

  2. Hello Margaret, it is neat seeing the bowling tournament. It looks so different from the Bowling we have here in the US. Enjoy your day!

  4. Hi Margaret,
    The grass is so green and that and other beautiful things that you have captured make your photos so delightful to look at - well done!
    I bowl at Team Outings, occasionally and I like it somewhat.
    Have a Beautiful Day!
    Peace :)

  13. A lovely bowling green! I like to visit Ward park in summer with my children and remember playing a tennis match there many years ago! I don't play bowls though! It all looks very festive in your photos!

  14. This looks like such a fun event. I loved the colorful banners and pennants on the fences. - I'm sure this type of "bowling" is very different from the Bowling I do at an alley with 10 pins and a large bowling ball.

  15. How wonderful to have this beautiful park within two minutes of your home Margaret. I'd be there every day. Lovely place.

  16. Wow, this brings back childhood memories. Where I lived in Massachusetts (USA) there was a park near my house. They had a bowling green there and the elderly men would be out there almost every day. I wish I had paid more attention to them then.

  19. Not even real sure what it is! But it is green and pretty there in your neighborhood. And. I guess a way to get outdoors for those who are not nature lovers particularly.
