Needham Bowlaway
A small candlepin house on Chestnut Street
Chestnut Street in Needham is home to the Bowlaway, a small candlepin house with eight lanes. Eight lanes keeps the floor compact.
The weekly pattern is easy to remember. Tuesday through Thursday the lanes run from 10 AM to 6:30 PM, Sunday runs from 10 AM to 6 PM, and Friday and Saturday stretch to 10 PM, which makes them the evening slots. Nothing is listed for Monday. The schedule comes from an archived copy of the center's page, so it is worth a call to confirm before making the trip, especially if a group is planning to arrive in the evening.
