Abbotsford Lawn Bowling Club was founded in 1935. The old facility was located at Jubilee Park, but closed operation in preparation for a move to Mill Lake Park after the 2018 season. In 2021 the new facility was ready for use after the COVID-19 pandemic prevented operation. The club is open from May to September depending on the weather.
