Effective next Tuesday, Arena Lanes will replace the Brunswick
Zone Oak Lawn as the name of the bowling center at 4700 W. 103rd St.
Longtime proprietor Bill Bard is taking back his family’s bowling
alley that he leased to Brunswick Corp. in 2001.
The Bard family opened the bowling alley with 24 lanes in 1956 and
added 16 lanes in 1962 and ran it until they leased it to Brunswick. Bard said in
February that he decided to resume running the alley after Brunswick opted to
let its lease expire.
The closing of Brunswick Zone leaves a Brunswick Zone XL in
Homewood as the company’s only location in the south suburbs. The other closest
Brunswick locations are in Woodridge and River Grove.
