***Attention College Lanes Customers***
Due to a lightning strike on April 3rd that severely damaged a chimney on top of our building, our main parking lot is closed until further notice. Bowling customers may park in the Service Building Lot (173 W. Lorain St.) which is directly across the street from the hospital. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Oberlin College Lanes is the only bowling center in Northeast Ohio that is alcohol-free and has been smoke-free since 1993. College Lanes is located in the Hales Annex on the Oberlin College Campus. The six lanes are open to the public as well as college students and staff. College Lanes offers open bowling, league bowling, birthday parties, and other special programs.

Get Directions
East Lot - Enter off Woodland Street
The sidewalk leads to our front entrance, which will allow easier access for customers with wheelchairs or walkers. Although this lot has signs reading “Staff Parking Only” and “Permit Required” College Lanes customers are permitted to park here. If you do receive a ticket, please bring it to the lane attendant and we will resolve the issue for you.
Back Lot - Enter via the hospital Emergency Room driveway
This area offers additional parking if the East Lot is full. The back door (to the right of the Dumpster) leads to the hallway with the Billiards room. There are stairs in this hallway, so guests may want to use the East Lot when possible.
