The owner Ron Speck tried his best to preserve the bowling alley but he purchased a nightmare Yes I did work at park lanes and Yes I left park lanes on bad terms but I must say Ron speck tried hard to preserve this place unfortunately it was to far gone it needs a complete renovation that would cost millions. My best wishes to the Speck family for trying to preserve the place.
The owner lied now up and closed the place. Great job
The lanes are all tore up. Good luck getting your ball to roll straight it has speed bumps the whole way down the lane due to the floor peeling up. Needs work done bad!!!!
BEWARE! Alleys are warped and dry. There is a musty smell. Restroom sinks not working. Clear signs of water damage. Renovations are definitely needed. Do not go here if you actually expect a fair/decent game.
Ever since the reopening, it has been a nice place to go bowl.
Best experience I've had at a bowling alley, I mean the ambiance when you walk in is WOW!
Feel greeted warmly and get this feeling like yep this is the place to be!.All joking aside,
this place is CREEPY. Let's start with outside as you enter. There's a posting on the Park Lanes sign that says RIP Jenny. Sets off a bad tone.
My group continued though. Slowly approaching the buildingbeer bottles around the building, trash and sheets over the windows? I'm not sure. But I was thinking man, this place could be in Zombieland 2, (if they ever filmed another one). Okay, so my group enters and from reading above reviews, it all makes sense, musty smell ceiling tiles missing, the arcade area wasn't lit had black mold I'm sure. The lanes were under construction? Maybe? Half the lanes don't work I'd guess. Wiring hanging out of some of the ball returns. Chunks of flooring missing in several spots.
We played for an hour, the only ones in there on a Sunday afternoon. The ball got stuck at the return a couple times, maintenance guy came in looking very questionable. Covered in white powder, I assume he's doing the maintenance and whatnot in the building. The bathrooms half way work. Possibly busted water lines at some point? Anyway if you're into the whole living on the edge thing or what an opportunity to potentially get caught in a Zombie attack, I'd recommend this place, if you prefer modern alley, and very few safety/health hazards to be concerned with, I'd recommend elsewhere..
My wife and I stopped in today, but sadly left in a hurry. Water everywhere, lanes were buckled from water damage and the smell of MOLD was horrendous . This place used to be so nice and awesome to go to. I will never return!
