The Leeming Bowling Club was founded in September 1987 at a meeting held at the Bullcreek Tavern.

For the first year, our home was at the Fremantle Bowling Club who kindly offered their facilities until the Leeming Bowling Club found their own patch of turf.

Following talks with the Melville City Council in November 1987, the current land occupied by the Leeming Bowls and Recreation club was granted to them and work started on building the club.

The foundation members all got involved in the building of the club from clearing land to planting the grass for the greens.

The first clubhouse was an old class room from the White Gum Valley School which was transported on the back of a truck.
