A great place to bowl.

by fcbertinchamps

They have leagues for most ages.

Good beginner leagues.

Comparable pricing- all bowling alleys seem to be expensive now-a-days...

Friendly staff.

• Pros: Good atmosphere. Friendly staff. Other things to do besides bowling.
• Cons: Pricing is comparable to other places.

Horrible pro shop, but great place to bowl

by techguy378

This is a very nice bowling alley to go bowling at. Unfortunately, the pro shop is certainly NOT staffed by pros. I bought a ball there but when the guy at the pro shop drilled the thumb hole he used a fitting that was so tight it ripped the skin off my thumb when the ball came off. His solution for fixing it? Sand the hole down to make more room (note: sanding is always free). To make matters worse, he actually charges a fee just to drill the thumb hole bigger! I went to another bowling alley in Wilsonville and the guy at that pro shop drilled the thumb hole bigger for FREE! Talk about poor customer service at Park Lanes.

While I would certainly recommend Park Lanes to others to go bowling at, make sure you go elsewhere if you decide to get your own bowling ball.

• Pros: Great atmosphere, excellent place to go bowling, reasonable per game prices
• Cons: The folks at the pro shop don't know how to drill a bowling ball properly

With all its bells and whistles, this place is a far cry from the retro alleys of yesteryear.

In Short
Modern bowling alley has 32 lanes with automatic score-keeping machines. The ever-popular cosmic bowling adds music and a light show to the bowling experience. Patrons also enjoy billiards, video games and batting cages in a smoke-free environment. The center has a lounge and a restaurant featuring soups, salads, burgers and various dinner entrees. You'll even find a DJ and dancing Thursday through Saturday.

First time

by kickstand

Didn't even know where Park Lanes was. It's in an industrial park behind the Movies on TV. We noticed it one night after watching a movie. My 2 sons and I went to take in 2 games of bowling. It was a very nice place and very clean. I don't know how long it had been open but, it still look fairly new. The price was a little steep at over $30.00 for all 3 of us to bolwing 2 games. We shared some fries from the snackbar which were very good.

• Pros: clean, bright, kid friendly
• Cons: expensive

Best Bowling Alley in Portland Area!

by maagret

THIS is what all bowling alleys should aspire too. Clean, modern and fun! A good restaurant, separate arcade and a full service Pro shop (staffed by Pros!) complete the picture. Check it out..you won't be sorry.

• Pros: clean, bright and new, friendly people, food and games!
• Cons: hidden location

Cooooool

by badman269

This place is tight! Very clean and I guess brand new because it smelled new.

It was nice and cool inside after we started out in the batting cages.

The arcade was very cool with all kinds of video games and AIR HOCKEY!

The prices were kind of steep for being a teenager but the payoff is the nice clean atmosphere that you get at Par Lanes. There was even paper towels in the men's bathroom.

We will be visting Park alot after this experience.

2 Thumbs up. Way Up!

• Pros: Clean, batting cages, arcade
• Cons: price of bowling

Our FAMILY Place to Go

by mhoiem

My 2 sons, husband and I love going to Park Lanes. Everyone there is very nice. My sons who are 6 and 7 love it there because the staff care about how they bowl and there is plenty to do. We have been going to Park for 2 years now and have tried evrything they offer and I can't complain about any of it. THIS IS A GREAT PLACE FOR THE FAMILY.

• Pros: clean, friendly, variety
• Cons: teens outside

Escape the heat of summer!

Took the kids to bowl and play video games on a hot day and we were all the better for it. Very clean and efficiently run place. I was impressed.
