Lahore
Polo Club
The Lahore Polo Club is situated in the heart of the city
famous for its gardens and historical monuments. Lahore served
as a center of activities for many centuries and the Mughal
Empire built the famous walled city. Equestrian activities
were always appreciated in this region and the local Rajas
thoroughly enjoyed the sport of Polo. This hobby was further
pursued by the colonial rulers as a result of which a formal
Polo Club was setup in the famous Race Course ground. Today
the Lahore Polo Club silently stands tall and graceful with
an aura of excellence that can be felt by any one who visits
the premises.
