Six decades on the Circle
Westbrook Lanes opened at the Brooklawn Circle in 1966 — 24 AMF lanes billed as "South Jersey's newest and finest." Six decades later it's still a family-run house, now 42 smoke-free lanes, run the way it always has been: as a neighborhood gathering place, not a chain.
Leagues, tournaments, birthday parties, cosmic nights, and regulars who've bowled here since before their kids could walk — that's what's kept the doors open through six decades. Ask anyone why it's still family-run and the answer's simple: it's how you keep a place honest.
"Big Jim" Douglass
A fixture at Westbrook is "Big Jim" Douglass, a USBC Hall of Fame pro shop operator with 36+ years fitting, drilling, and coaching bowlers of every level. Jim's eye has helped local juniors earn Team USA jackets and state titles — and gives a first-time bowler the exact same care.
If you've ever been fitted for your own ball at Westbrook, chances are Jim measured your span himself. His shop is the reason serious South Jersey bowlers keep their game dialed in right here at home.
