Moving to Tacoma and finding Lawn Bowling

Tacoma Lawn Bowling Club members Laura Moscatello and Mike Catsi moved to Tacoma from Alaska and now they're the president and treasurer of the Tacoma Lawn Bowling Club. In this episode of the Move to Tacoma Podcast we dig into what lawn bowling is, why it's so fun, and how to get involved. If you've ever walked past the lawn bowling green in Wright Park and wondered what that was about, you'll love this interview! Laura (Tacoma Lawn Bowling Club President) and Mike (Treasurer) moved to Central Tacoma from Alaska a few years ago. They were walking past the lawn bowling green in Wright Park and couldn't believe what they saw. Mike is originally from Australia and familiar with Lawn Bowling as a sport. Laura did some research and found out it WAS a lawn bowling green and they decided to join up. They think it's a great way to make friends in Tacoma!

History to Today

The Tacoma Lawn Bowling Club has been in Tacoma on the green in Wright Park since 1929. The club was first started in 1929 by Scottish immigrant Alexander ‘Sandy’ Drummond.  TLBC is now run by a new generation of bowlers. Players from Tacoma compete in regional competitions in the Northwest and in the US Nationals. The 2024 Lawn Bowling Season starts in April! Looking to join? Check out the "Learn to Bowl" Lawn Bowling Class at Metro Parks Tacoma. It costs $60 and once you complete the class you can join the club. It's $120 for the April to October season. They have days with open plays on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:30pm and days where you can join a league and compete more seriously. You don't need equipment to get involved, they have equipment to share. Just show up in comfortable flat soled shoes.
