Heritage Lanes

Very well taken care of in the lane area. They use the 40 foot oil process so you must have a good turning ball in your bag if you throw a hook. Only problems I have seen is the parking lot needs to be better attended to during the snow season. We were dragging our bags through the snow and ice and slip sliding into the building. But it is very clean. The other problem is the size of the alley itself. There is very little room to walk in the isle. Only one person at a time can get through, and this can get hectic during leagues. Be prepared to stand if you bring your family with you during league play. There is only about 4 booths to sit at, and about 4 extra chairs at most lanes, some only have 1. If you had ever been to The Astro Bowl or Don Lowreys East, then you will feel a little cramped! I know it takes a lot of money to rebuild these places but they have tried multiple times to make it comfortable to no avail. The bowling is great, the lanes are awesome, but there is just no room to move about. If they could take the time and money to redevelop the alley to mimic the East side alley (where Wal-​Mart stands today, in the building that stands to the South West) then we could have the best alley in Indiana! I am sure they had no idea that Wal-​Mart was coming or they would have stayed there, because it was in a great location for business and was large enough to hold 2 PBA events at 1 time. I love the people of Heritage Lanes, they make you feel right at home, and do their best to keep everyone happy, I just wish there was more seating and room to move about. But with that comes loads of money to be spent, and with it not in a location that gets a lot of attention it wouldn’t be worth the hassle of making a few more feet here and there. Maybe someday I will win the lottery and offer a deal to the building owners in front of Wal-​Mart they can’t refuse, and bring back The Astro Bowl. It would definitely be a great investment with the location it’s in. But that’s all dreams, if you want to have a good time bowling, go to Heritage Lanes, they will make it worth your while!
