The Island Bay Bowling club had its beginnings on September 5, 1917, when enthusiasts met and adopted a set of rules. The first green was sown and formed by Mr. W. G. Crawford, a well-known Karori bowler. The green was officially opened on January 5, 1918, by the then member for the district, Mr. R. A. Wright. There were then forty-five playing members. As membership grew, more space was needed, and by March of the same year an additional section had been acquired. In 1923 a second storey was added to the pavilion and two billiard tables were installed.
