Janine GriffithsHarehills Park Bowling Club is calling on local residents to become Harehills Superstars as volunteers help prepare the greens for the winter season. The club is running regular sessions from October to March on Tuesdays and Sundays from 12 to 3pm, and anyone with a couple of spare hours is welcome to get involved.
Work is currently focused on restoring the edges of the green to ensure it is properly squared. Volunteers have already made significant progress, with the next steps involving clearing the surrounding gutters, laying down weed membrane and adding a layer of 10mm pea shingle.
The club says every helping hand makes a difference in keeping the space tidy, welcoming and ready for the next generation of bowlers. Support from local councillors Asghar and Salma, along with funding from the Inner East Community Committee, has helped make the improvement work possible.
Anyone interested in lending a hand or finding out more about crown green bowling can get in touch with the club via WhatsApp at 07512 393575 or by emailing harehillsparkbc@outlook.com.
Volunteers are needed throughout the winter, and the club says community support is vital in keeping this much loved Harehills spot thriving.
