Center Parcs Longleat Forest has officially opened the doors to its brand-new Leisure Bowl – an exciting addition. The eight-lane installation, delivered in partnership with Bowling Vision, marks a major investment in enhancing the guest experience and modernisation of Center Parcs’ popular family activities.
A Fresh Take on a Family Favourite
Bowling has long been a staple of the Center Parcs experience, but the newly launched Leisure Bowl at Longleat Forest represents a step-change in quality and innovation. With a complete overhaul of the facility, the village now boasts eight state-of-the-art Brunswick lanes, complete with cutting-edge scoring systems, reliable performance and a contemporary, guest-friendly layout.
The new lanes are located next to Huck’s in the Plaza, providing a vibrant and accessible hub for families, friends and groups looking to unwind, compete or celebrate.
Bowling Vision: A Proven Partner
The successful delivery of the Longleat Forest Leisure Bowl continues the growing relationship between Center Parcs and Bowling Vision – the UK’s exclusive distributor of Brunswick Bowling equipment. Known for their industry-leading installations and aftercare, Bowling Vision was the natural choice to manage the project from planning through to delivery and support.
Following a successful refurbishment at Center Parcs Whinfell Forest, where 12 lanes were upgraded to Brunswick’s latest technology, Center Parcs once again turned to Bowling Vision to bring the Longleat project to life. The result is a stylish, high-performing bowling centre designed to meet the expectations of today’s guests.
What’s New at Longleat Forest?
The completed Leisure Bowl brings together the best in modern bowling technology with the family-first ethos that Center Parcs is known for.
Key features include:
- Brunswick Anvilane Lanes – Designed for durability and performance, these synthetic lanes provide a professional-level playing surface in a relaxed, family setting.
- Boost ST Pinsetters – Quiet, efficient and low-maintenance, the latest Brunswick pinsetters deliver a smooth and reliable game every time.
- Sync Scoring and Management System – The intuitive scoring platform offers vibrant visuals, interactive game modes and a simple, easy to use interface.
- Child-Friendly Features – Younger guests are well catered for, with ball ramps and bumpers available on all lanes, making bowling inclusive and enjoyable for everyone.
From the visual design to the technology behind the scenes, every detail of the Leisure Bowl has been carefully planned to enhance both playability and comfort.
Designed for High Demand
As a leading UK pastime, bowling is always in demand, and the new installation at Longleat was developed with this in mind. With eight lanes in operation, the upgraded facility improves reliability and ensures the equipment can withstand the rigors of intensive use. Thanks to Sync’s efficient lane management features, the Center Parcs team can ensure bookings are handled seamlessly and guests spend more time enjoying themselves and less time waiting.
More Than Just Bowling
The new Leisure Bowl is about more than just rolling a strike. It’s part of Center Parcs’ broader strategy to improve leisure spaces across its villages and offer memorable experiences that bring families and friends together. The integration of bowling alongside hospitality outlets enables guests to refuel after a competitive session of bowling.
By working with Bowling Vision, Center Parcs has created a space that’s not only fun but also functional, future-proofed and easy to maintain – essential for a location with heavy footfall every week.
