Enormous ABANDONED Bowling Alley

Ойын-сауық

Today we are going into a former bowling alley with over 50 lanes. This massive building is on the verge of demolition for new condos and after its closure in 2016, the entertainment complex was left to the elements. Join us as we find out what's left.

Back before it closed, near the end of the school year our teachers would always take us there. We never took the bus or anything, we always just walked. I have memories there lol. It's seriously weird looking at the state this place is in now. It was never a fancy place or anything but seeing it this torn up is just like wow lol.

Apparently some of those places were supposed to be turned into condos or something, so maybe this place was shut down for similar reasons?

    Those are Brunswick A-2 pinsetters. I've been a Brunswick mechanic for many years and can tell you all those parts used to be quite valuable. However, with bowling centers closing so frequently, most of the pinsetters and scorers are just used as scrap these days. I'm surprised they left all the power lifts in the approaches up front (10:48) because those are difficult to find, but the pinsetters only go for about $200 a machine at best. Great video. Brings back old memories of how I used to rebuild those pinsetters and all the time I took doing it.

    The building was sold to developers a while before it closed. It was sold as the land in that area is worth a lot of money not because a lack of patronage at club 300, it was jammed with leagues until it closed. Around the 13 minute mark is the pro shop, it looks like the front check in desk was removed after it closed as it was closer to the snack bar.

The supposed problem is when they get a little older and become brittle. They say dry sweeping floors with these tiles are a hazard because of airborne carcinogens. The house was built in 1940. My grandma owned it before my mother and me. Not one person in my family has ever had any asbestos related illness. These same tiles were in millions of houses and even aircraft carriers for decades.

    I live in the municipality where this bowling alley is. While I can't say I frequented this place, I do have some fond memories coming here as a young child in the late 2000s to play bowling with my friends while our parents watched us. Towards the last couple of years while this place was still open, while I never did return to the bowling alley, I would occasionally have dinners at one of the restaurants there. Even at that point, this place was already dead quiet, with my immediate family usually being the largest group of patrons at any of the businesses there. The internet cafe, though I never went inside, was open until the very end, as far as I know, despite having been an obsolete business years before this place closed down. I have some more insights about the local area if anyone is interested.

    Useless info below: The panels that cover the machines are known as Masking Units. The ball return mechanism is a Power Lift (Brunswick's name for it). The pinsetters are A2's, although later on in the video it looks like there were also GS series machines installed that were removed entirely. The guard that comes down to sweep the pins is called a Rake on A2's and a Sweep on GS machines. It's sad to see a center abandoned like this, especially with the older pinsetters. They were known as the workhorse of the industry. Very durable machines and reliable if serviced properly.

    At 13:20 I believe that room to be actually where the "Pro-Shop" would be. It's where people would go to buying bowling balls and other equipment as well as where they would have their bowling balls drilled. The stair-like shelving was probably where they displayed the various types of bowling balls.

Place used to have arcade machines lined along the walls and the best fries and gravy at the snack stand. This was actually the first place I ever played Bomberman or an arcade racing sim. Last I heard the place was supposed to be torn down for more condos (yuck). Place was in business to at least the early 10's from what I remember. Thanks for visiting!

The bottom floor was open but not too busy. But Club300 was always active. My niece would get chicken fingers and fries. We’d bowl, then play arcade and pool. If it was winter, we’d do doughnuts in the back before we left. So sad, places like this don’t exist anymore. Thanks for filming, and letting me see my youth again. Stay safe.
