Situated in the Alvaston and Boulton area of south-east Derby, Brackens Crown Green Bowls Club is an outdoor bowls pitch that serves the local communities of Alvaston and Boulton. Crown green bowls is a traditional sport popular across the Midlands and the North of England, played on a slightly raised central green rather than a flat rink, requiring a different technique and judgement from flat green bowls.
The Local Area
Alvaston and Boulton are residential neighbourhoods on the eastern fringes of Derby, close to the River Derwent and within easy reach of Alvaston Park. The area is well connected by road and local bus routes into Derby city centre, making the club accessible to residents across this part of the city.
Visiting the Club
As a pitch-based facility, the club is a community sports venue where members gather to play and practise crown green bowls. For anyone interested in taking up the sport or joining a local club in Derby’s south-east suburbs, Brackens Crown Green Bowls Club is one of the established options in the Alvaston and Boulton area.
