White Oak Duckpin Lanes at 11207 New Hampshire Ave, which opened in 1959, is officially reopening today (Saturday, September 30). The bowling alley has been closed since September 2021 due to flooding and a subsequent dispute with the building’s landlord. A video hyping the return of the MoCo institution can be seen below.
A GoFundMe created for the business in December, 2021 has raised over $27,000. White Oak Lanes announced it would be returning back in February of this year: “As you are probably aware, White Oak Lanes experienced a really bad flooding incident back in September of 2021. This incident caused substantial damage to our lanes. Even though we are going to be sad to see the old lanes leave, we will definitely be excited to see the new lanes when they are completed! When you come back, White Oak will have new lanes, approaches, and pin decks! Hope everyone is as excited about that as we are!”
