The venue traces its roots to 1940 as the Beale Bowling Center, originally operating in a building that once housed a car dealership. Over the decades, it evolved into Parkview Bowl, maintaining its original eight lanes and preserving vintage features like working pindicators and manual scoring with pencil and paper, rare in today’s automated bowling centers. The facility was upgraded in the 1960s with AMF automatic pinspotters and Brunswick ball returns, equipment still in use today. Margaret “Peg” Martin, a respected figure in the Rochester bowling community and a member of the Rochester Bowling Hall-of-Fame, owned and operated the center from 1981 until her passing in 2015. Her legacy of warmth and inclusivity continues to shape the culture of the venue, where guests are treated like family.
