Pleasant Valley Recreation Center — Local services in Altoona

Place is a total dump.

Imagine stepping back in time to the mid 90's and getting to experience the great memories of bowling at the local lanes once again...well you can do exactly that because this place HASN'T BEEN TOUCHED SINCE 1998.

Aside from the lanes themselves--which are serviceable--the entire place is in some degree of decay. The carpet is dirty and worn out, the tile is cracked, the TV's are ancient, the scoring program doesn't even work--you have to keep score on your phone--the chairs are damaged and uncomfortable, the bathrooms are dingy and reek of pee, an entire portion of the ceiling has collapsed on the left hand end of the building.

It is a wonder that this place is even allowed to be open. And I mean that in the strongest terms.

If you strictly just want to bowl for cheap and couldn't care less that you are doing it in a collapsing, decrepit building--then by all means go enjoy yourself.

It really is sad that this place, which in some ways is a retro gem, has been run into the ground. If this place isn't closed or condemned in a few years, I...

I did a review 3 years ago and have it a 2 star rating cause the bowling alley was Run down and needed a lot of updating. Now 3 years later I don't even want to give it a 1 star cause I don't believe it's worth a 1. It is so much worse. It's sad how that place is getting run down into the ground. There was leaks all through the ceiling and buckets everywhere catching water and drips. There are tiles missing from the ceiling now. Some of the lanes look like they have water damage. I still don't know how that place still open or how it passes inspection. The workers they are nice and the older lady is a sweetheart. So it's not about customer service at all the building is just too run down and...

Just went bowling there for Father's Day with my family none of the computers are working you have to keep your own score like we're back in 1970s again. The food there is hardly any at all this place is run down bad. Then we go to leave to try to pay and his card reader would not read our card and he tried to blame us for having a faulty card or no money in our account when we clearly did. If you want to go bowling with your family and have a good time I would not recommend going here.. travel out of town...
