The Bowling Lanes were built in 1961 and had 116 lanes, which was then the largest bowling alley in the world. They had 3 restaurants and even a nursery for the kids inside. Here's a pic from one of Sven's older posts :down: And a 1960s photo :down: The 3 restaurants inside were a german beer themed Hauf Brau, the Waterfall Room, and the Tiki Room. Found this great photo of the tiki room :down: Not a whole lot of tiki, but still some nice Witco items. The park closed down in 1975, and this building was demolished sometime between then and the early 1980s.
