Description

This photograph shows the Hokowhitu Bowling Club. The Hokowhitu Bowling Club is located next to Hokowhitu Park at 279 Albert Street. The pavilion was built by, and the green laid down by, the Palmerston North City Council. It was then leased to the Club on the understanding that all further improvements would be born by the Club. A fountain can be seen to the left of the photograph. The fountain serves as a well. It was sunk during one very dry season, in order that the greens and flower beds could be watered. The seats visible in the midsection of the picture were bought as a result of donations by three members at the time.
