Clayton Bowls Club was formed in 1961 on Land that was leased from the Conservation and Environmental Department, managed by the Oakleigh Council. The land on which Clayton Bowls Club currently stands was largely swamp that was located next to the Namatjira Springs.

The Namatjira Spring was a watering hole used by early horse drawn coaches such as Cobb & co on route from Melbourne to Dandenong. Springs Road, the road that our club is on and Namatjira Park which surrounds the club were consequently named after the Namatjira Springs.

The Club originally consisted of one green and a single shed, as seen in the picture on the right. This shed was rebuilt and over the years the Clayton Bowls Club had undergone six extensions and refurbishments to achieve our present magnificent club.

We have also added two extra greens over the years and our managers are now the Kingston Council. The water from the springs is still collected and used to water the green, as was done when the club first opened.
