What people say

Gladstone Park Bowling Club Balmain is a fantastic place to spend a sunny day in the heart of Balmain. With its well-maintained bowling greens, it's no wonder that the club championship bowls keep big crowds on their feet. The pairs matches are always exciting, with last year's winners Renee and Lawrence putting up a good fight against Packo and Al. And for those who prefer to sit back and relax, live music is often on offer at The Gladdo, with Class Action set to perform on Sunday 11 June.

The Gladdo is not just for bowlers though - it's also a great spot for socializing with friends and family. The club has even welcomed some furry locals, Ruby and Cloud, who have become regulars at the pub. And speaking of celebrations, The Gladdo recently hosted an engagement party for Chris and Jessie, with guests coming from near and far to enjoy the spectacular sunset views.

But it's not just about fun and games at Gladstone Park Bowling Club Balmain - the club also supports important causes in the community. Recently, they hosted a fabulous day on the green for Balmain Hospital Nurses in celebration of International Nurses Day.

Overall, Gladstone Park Bowling Club Balmain offers something for everyone - whether you're a serious bowler or just looking for a good time with friends.
