During the recent Santa Ana City Council meeting on March 4, 2025, the council took a moment to honor the Santa Ana Lawn Bowling Club for its significant contributions to the community. Established in 1935, the club has a rich history that began with the construction of its first lawn bowling green in Santiago Park, funded by the Works Project Administration during the Great Depression.

The recognition highlighted the club's longstanding tradition, which officially started in 1938 when the first lawn bowl was rolled. Over the years, the club has expanded, adding a second green in 1952 and moving to its current facility in 1991. This venue has become a vibrant hub for lawn bowling in Santa Ana, fostering community engagement and promoting the sport.

City officials expressed gratitude for the club's dedication to enriching the lives of residents through its activities. The council's acknowledgment serves not only to celebrate the club's history but also to encourage ongoing community involvement in recreational activities.

In his remarks, a club representative thanked the council and emphasized the importance of parks and recreation in supporting their initiatives. The meeting underscored the value of local organizations in enhancing community spirit and preserving traditions that bring residents together.

As the city continues to support such institutions, the Santa Ana Lawn Bowling Club remains a testament to the enduring impact of community engagement and the importance of recreational spaces in urban life.
