★ Family-owned since 1966

60 years in the making.

Westbrook Lanes opened its doors in 1966 with 24 brand-new AMF lanes. Six decades later we're still family-run — now 42 smoke-free lanes on Creek Road, where generations of Brooklawn families have rolled their first-ever strike.

The story

A family bowling center, one strike at a time

The lanes have been resurfaced, the pinsetters rebuilt, and the snack bar has poured a lot of sodas — but the mission hasn't changed since day one: a clean, friendly, all-ages place to bowl. Here's how six decades came together.

1966

Grand opening — 24 AMF lanes

Westbrook Lanes opens on Creek Road in Brooklawn with 24 brand-new AMF lanes and automatic pinsetters. The original 1966 company letterhead still survives — see it below.

Through
the years

Grown to 42 lanes

As leagues and league nights filled the house, the center expanded from its original 24 lanes to the 42 lanes bowlers roll on today — one of South Jersey's larger family houses.
