Bowling Green

Background

From the opening of the Park in 1966 the bowling green had been maintained and managed by Local government. In 2016 Dudley MBC announced that from 2017 due to financial pressures, it would no longer maintain the Bowling greens under it's jurisdiction. The Friends of Huntingtree Park believing that the bowling green forms a fundamental part of the Park and is important in the lives of local bowlers who use it, negotiated a ten-year lease of the green from DMBC thereby taking over responsibility for it's upkeep and management. Since 2017, the Friends as a not-for-profit organisation have collected annual subscriptions from bowlers who use the green and used the generated income to contract a professional Greenkeeper to maintain it to an improving standard.
