THE POMONA BOWLING CENTER





What it looks like today


In 1948, Pomona's first "state of the art" bowling alley opened in the Pomona Valley. Located on the SE corner of Third and San Antonio, it provided 16 modern bowling lanes, automatic ball return, and projector scoring tables. It also hosted a small restaurant and fountain grill, not to mention billiards. During the late 40's until the 1960's, when bowling was all the rage, it was the staple of the community hosting bowling leagues, afterschool bowling programs, and family recreation. After it closed its doors, it later housed the Pomona Moose Lodge until 2007. A year later, the abandoned building burned to the ground in what was believed to be a arson-set fire. Today, all that remains is the foundation.
