Nestled in the serene surroundings of Southampton’s Mayfield Park, our club provides an excellent environment for enjoying the sport of lawn bowls. The Club is more than just a bowling green; it’s a community. We’re a dedicated group of individuals who share a passion for the game of lawn bowls, socialising, and the simple pleasure of spending time outdoors. Whether you’re an experienced player or someone looking to try bowling for the first time, Mayfield Park has something for you.
A Thriving Calendar of Competitions and Events
At Mayfield Park Bowling Club, we offer a range of opportunities to get involved, whether you’re looking for a casual game or a more competitive challenge. While not every day features an event, you’ll find a healthy mix of inter-club competitions including the Southampton and District Men’s League and Southampton and District Ladies League along with our own in-house tournaments. On Monday morning’s and Tuesday afternoon’s, members can enjoy regular roll-up sessions, which are ideal for meeting new people, practicing your skills, and enjoying the social side of lawn bowling in a relaxed setting.
These informal games foster camaraderie and connection among members, making them a great entry point for newcomers and a experienced players alike. Our in-house competition matches, while more structured, still offer plenty of opportunities to learn, challenge yourself, and experience the unique appeal of bowls in a friendly yet focused environment.
Get Involved and Be a Part of Our Growing Community
From 2025, our club members are taking on the challenging and rewarding task of maintaining our own green and grounds. This marks an exciting new chapter, where every member has a hand in shaping the future of the club and keeping our facilities in top condition. With our commitment to improving our green, compared to previous seasons you can always count on a great playing surface, whether you’re competing in a local league match or simply enjoying a casual practice session.
Sponsorship Opportunities – Support Your Local Club
As a club deeply rooted in the Southampton community, we are actively seeking partnerships with local businesses to help support and sustain our operations. Due to recent cuts in local authority funding, sponsorship is now more important than ever to ensure we can continue to maintain our green, facilities, and events calendar. Becoming a sponsor of Mayfield Park Bowling Club is a fantastic opportunity to engage with the local community, promote your business, and support a club with over 60 years of heritage. We would be happy to discuss sponsorship packages and how your business can contribute to the success and future growth of our club.

Health Benefits – Good for the Body and Mind
Lawn bowling is more than just a game; it’s a great way to stay active and improve overall well-being. It’s a low-impact sport that encourages physical movement, improves balance, and enhances coordination—all essential for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, especially as we age. But it’s not just about physical health; bowling also fosters social connections and mental sharpness. The concentration and strategy required in the game can help boost mental agility, while the supportive community environment reduces feelings of isolation and promotes emotional well-being.
Bowling is for All Ages – Encouraging New and Younger Members
While lawn bowling is often perceived as a sport for older generations, Mayfield Park Bowling Club is dedicated to breaking that stereotype. We’re actively encouraging younger members to give the sport a try and discover the many benefits of lawn bowling. Whether you’re a young professional looking for a relaxing yet engaging activity, or a student seeking a new hobby, lawn bowling offers a fun and challenging experience. The sport is accessible to all ages and abilities, making it a perfect option for anyone looking to try something new and be part of a welcoming community.
