Brunswick Bowling Club - Physical Description 1
The Brunswick Bowling Club grounds consist of a main bowling club building built shortly after the formation of Fleming Park. This building accords with the structure plotted in the MMBW Field Book. Its two verandahs face bowling greens to the east and west of the building. The front of the building features a rendered arched parapet which faces Victoria Street. The site also contains a 1940s era building with later (c. 1970s) extensions, facing the two western bowling greens. Along the boundary of the greens are simple open shelters, some of which exhibit painted timber cladding which may be original, while others have been reclad in coloured roof decking to their walls and roofs. To the east of the 1920s bowling club building is the Brunswick East Bocce Association with its playing greens and a timber building c. 1950s showing signs of later extension. These appear to have replaced the East Brunswick Tennis Club's asphalt courts recorded in the MMBW Field Book.
