Set in park grounds in north-west Christchurch, Burnside Bowling Club pairs its outdoor bowling greens with indoor bowls, a lounge with bar facilities, and dedicated meeting rooms. For groups gathering for social roll-ups, corporate functions, or trade displays, the club provides presentation gear including a data projector, screen, and microphone system. Functions can bring in food trucks or make use of the kitchen ovens, fridges, and barbecue setup, supported by club members who walk novices through the delivery and game format on the greens.
Visitors regularly single out the club members and staff for running smooth events, praising their patient demonstrations and willingness to help coordinate catering, chill birthday cakes, and keep group drinks moving from the bar. Dedicated off-street parking makes arriving easy, particularly for guests travelling via the nearby airport. Set along Avonhead Road in Avonhead, it is a practical and welcoming choice for a relaxed group roll-up or private celebration on the greens.
