The previous playground equipment was removed last year, after 26 years of use and repairs. The center currently does not have a proper outdoor playground.
The cost is $20 per person to bowl, but there are 60 pre-paid entries available. All bowling levels are welcome.
This event will feature raffles, prizes and live music by South of Six.
