After much anticipation, the bowling alley at Central Lane Hotel has finally opened.

The first strike happened on Friday night with a family of four taking the honours.

Construction for the $4 million redevelopment started in November 2020, and was expected to open in April.

The redevelopment included a redesign of the ground floor level including the existing gaming area, a new outdoor bar area, a new back of house area, new fit-out upstairs, four AMF bowling lanes and associated infrastructure and carpark.

Central Lane Hotel’s bowling alley is Gladstone’s only bowling alley since the bowling centre at Gladstone-Benaraby Rd closed in July 2012.

Bowling is open from 10am all weekend, with walk ins only this weekend.

The hotel is open Monday to Friday from noon to 10pm, and 10am to 10pm on Saturday and Sunday.

People are required to bring socks in order to bowl.
