Senior Bowling at Buffaloe Lanes North is very active with numerous opportunities to participate in teams or check out your individual skills. These leagues are handicap opportunities, so all skill levels and even some bowlers into their 90’s are all competitive.

There are no height, weight or strength limits, but it’s a good idea to leave “walkers” & canes at home. You can request “bumpers”, which eliminate gutter balls. They even have ramps to roll the ball, if needed. Surprisingly, there are blind bowlers who also have fun bowling. It’s open to everyone!
