HONG KONG—After serving the Police team for more than 40 years, the outdoor artificial green at the Police Officers Club was officially closed last Sunday, July 26, as part of the redevelopment work of the clubhouse.
The clubhouse will be completely demolished to give way to the Wanchai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link project, aimed at easing the traffic congestion along the north shore of the Island.
A new POC clubhouse will be re-open in 2020 at the same location after the completion of the project. According to plan, a four rink artificial green will be included in the new building to replace the outdoor green.
In the next five years, all Police Lawn Bowls home games will be played at the newly opened green at the Police Sports and Recreation Club in Mongkok. The new green has six artificial rinks and was built to replace the old four-rink green located within the same clubhouse.
