Pollokshaws Bowling Club was formed in 1854 and was originally across from Pollokshaws West railway station. On the club's centenary, the clubhouse and greens moved into Pollok Park rent free thanks to Sir John Stirling Maxwell.

The Pollokshaws Races, an informal horse racing event staged annually from around 1750 until 1883, took place on a racecourse to the southwest of the village, on land now occupied by Kennishead Road and Cowglen Golf Club. The races initially developed in conjunction with the local holiday, the Pollokshaws Fair, and were viewed more as an excuse for drinking and socialising rather than a serious sporting event.<ref>{{cite book |last1=O'Brien |first1=Ged |editor1-last=Inglis |editor1-first=Simon |editor1-link=Simon Inglis |title=Played in Glasgow: Charting the Heritage of a City at Play |date=2010 |publisher=Malavan Media |location=London |isbn=9780954744557 |page=79}}</ref>
