Westbrook’s West-Port Bowling Lanes to Close After 64 Years
Westbrook's West-Port Bowling Lanes will close permanently after 64 years of operation. The family-owned establishment, built in 1962, is shutting down because its original machinery has become too difficult to maintain and replacement parts are scarce.
Portland Auburn, ME, September 23, 2026 —
Westbrook’s West-Port Bowling Lanes, a fixture in the community for 64 years, is set to close its doors permanently. The family-owned establishment, which first opened in 1962, cites the increasing difficulty in maintaining its original machinery as the primary reason for its impending closure.
The scarcity of replacement parts for the vintage bowling equipment has made continued operation unsustainable, according to management. The venue has been a long-standing recreational spot since its inception more than six decades ago.
The decision to close marks the end of an era for the bowling alley, which has served generations of local residents. Further details regarding the exact closing date were not immediately available.
