This is one of two bowling greens at the Friars Road end of Belle Vue Park. The green is a square with sides of 40 metres. Generally, greens are built square and as close to 40 metres as possible. This enables games to be played in either direction. Playing in different directions evens out the wear on the green. In addition, the bowlers do not need to face into the sun when playing. In the distance is Friars Road and Burton Alms Houses. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1472559
