The bowling green is surrounded by beach huts and set amidst suburbia in St Edmund's Road, with Cordy's Regal restaurant, now The Alex, to the right.
1925 saw a part of the south green made into a bowling green, and three years later a rather rough, but functional putting- green was made next to it.

Visitors paid an entrance fee, the entertainments were free: tennis, quoits, bowling, croquet, hobby horses, swings, and brass band concerts.
This rose garden was the site of Hawhill Park's first bowling green.
Yew trees lead to the church door, and inside is a Norman font with an arcaded bowl resting on four pillars.
The inn is now closed; at one time there was a bowling green nearby from which it may have taken its name. Outside stands an AA patrol van.
The bowling greens here in Bolton Road are just one example.
