In 1998 the City of
Edinburgh council
felt unable to afford the maintenance of the bowling green and tennis
courts at 84 Newbattle Terrace. Some local residents and
regular
users became concerned that the facility would be lost to the
community. The Falcon Bowling and Tennis Club was formed and
a 30
year lease was agreed with the Council in 2005.
Since the Club's formation, substantial investment has been made in the
professional refurbishment of the bowling green and the tennis courts.
With a grant from the City of Edinburgh Council
we upgraded the clubhouse in 2006 and built the new enlarged entrance gates in 2010.
