Forfar, Boyle Park Bowling Pavilion

The Boyle Park Bowling Pavilion in Forfar was built around 1937, with an addition made in 1973. This single-storey, five-bay building has a rectangular plan and is symmetrically positioned to the west of the bowling green within a public park. The northeast elevation, which is the main front, features a full-width veranda and a triangular gable with a clock at the center above the veranda. The exterior is rendered and has long and short ashlar margins, with overhanging eaves that have timber boarding on the soffit.

The veranda is supported by square, tapered timber columns and elliptical beams, with curved brackets on the central columns. The returns of the veranda have vertical timber boarding and a glazed screen. The set-back elevation includes a bipartite window with a stone mullion at the center and end bays, along with single entrances in the flanking bays that have panelled timber doors and fanlights. There are also pairs of single windows on the northwest elevation and a lean-to structure on the southwest (rear) elevation with a door to the returns. The 1973 addition on the southeast elevation has a flat roof.

The windows predominantly feature three-pane top-hung hoppers over two fixed panes, all made of timber. The roof is piended and covered with clay tiles, complete with clay ridge tiles and finials.

Inside, as observed in 2012, the layout remains largely unchanged, with a kiosk at the center flanked by locker rooms. The kiosk was converted into a kitchen in 1965, but the original timber lockers and bowls storage have been retained. The walls and ceiling are vertically boarded in timber. There is a cloakroom to the north that features a continuous timber bench and a memorial plaque, which includes a bust set within a round arch stone niche above an inscribed plaque.
