NBC (Northmead Bowling Club)

NBC (formerly known as Northmead Bowling Club) is not only kid-friendly, it's kid-centric to its very core. The Club inside is a modern design with big screens often playing the game, but it's really outside where you see how much NBC has embraced the very fabric of family-friendly.

Giving over a bowling green for the enjoyment of families, the Backyard features an undercover play area, a giant jumping pillow, a jumping castle and over 20 tables with permanent shade cover all ideal for families and friends to relax while the kids are more than busy in the multiple play areas.
