The Northern Bowling Club in Palmerston North could be the future home of a covered artificial green.
The sale of the Terrace End Bowling Club in Palmerston North could help cover the costs of building a new covered bowls facility in the city. The Northern, Terrace End and Takaro clubs are lobbying for a covered artificial turf to be built at the Northern club on North St for all the clubs to use. The facility would be the first of its kind in the region. A steering group for the clubs last year prepared a pre-feasibility report, which cost $12,000, about a partnership between the clubs, and the Palmerston North City Council considered a $50,000 payment to work with consultants to investigate.
