Bexley Park Sports & Social Club

In 1946 some members of staff at Bexley Hospital went to the Management with an idea to lay a bowling green as a form of therapy for the patients and to give them an interest in which they and the hospital staff could get involved. It would also provide a way to relax for the patients on weekdays and the staff on Saturday afternoons.

This was agreed, and the Kent County Bowling Association was contacted. They became involved in the planning of the project, but most of the work was carried out by the patients with the assistance of the staff.
