Bowling Depot
Calgary Community wiki
The Bowling Depot is a five-pin bowling centre located in the Deerfoot Mall in northeast Calgary.
The Bowling Depot formerly operated in the Huntington Hills area of Calgary as Centennial Bowlerama before moving to its current location in 1998. The centre separated from Alberta Bowlerama shortly after this move and is now family-owned.
The centre has 24 bumper bowling capable lanes with a full sound system and digital jukebox. The food service is a Pizza Hut Express. According to the website, the center runs a total of 14 leagues covering mixed, youth and women's. It has hosted several provincial championships including Youth Bowling Canada.
The center is equipped with Bowland X scoring, which includes a slot machine game that is used during the centre's summer contest and spring league.
2008 saw a complete refurbishing of the Thunder Alley glow bowling service, including new fog machines, laser effects, a refurbishing of the lighting effects, and LED lighting alongside the centre aisles separating every six lanes.
The Bowling Depot operates two birthday party rooms themed after different Disney characters. There is a dining area on the north side of the concourse.
