Our Heritage

A New England Bowling Tradition

Founded in 1917, Needham Bowlaway is one of the oldest and most beloved bowling alleys in New England. Located at 16 Chestnut St, Needham, MA 02492, our family-owned establishment has been a cornerstone of the Needham community for over 100 years.

What began as a small candlepin bowling alley has evolved into a cherished destination for families, friends, leagues, and competitive bowlers throughout Massachusetts and beyond.

Through our pro shop, we extend that same commitment to quality by offering bowling gear, apparel, and accessories for casual and competitive bowlers alike.
