Western Flatts Park Bowling Green - The club is not merely a place for our older residents to partake in bowling competitions but it is a vibrant social hub where friendships are forged and nurtured, lifelines for many in our aging population.

Far from being just a recreational facility, Western Flatts is home to players who compete nationally, elevating our community's standing in the sports world. The club also organizes community fun days, further integrating it with the fabric of our community and promoting social cohesion raising up to 2k each fun day for charities.

The potential shuttering of this precious community asset by the Leeds City Council not only jeopardizes a beloved sport but risks unravelling the social threads that bind our community and could have an impact on the mental health of many people that attend. It wouldn’t just be a temporary loss this will be a permanent loss to the community.

I urge everyone to stand with us in preserving our Western Flatts Crown Green Bowling Green, its future hinges on your support.
Please sign this petition today to keep our social hub alive and protect its profound legacy.
