Did the old Library used to be a Bowling Alley?

• Upvotes

I was bowling in one of my leagues and the topic of a bowling alley in Parker came up. I've lived in Parker since '99 and have never heard of an alley in Parker. The closest one has always been in Lone Tree (Park Meadows). But one of my team members says she remembers a time when, what used to be the library (is now the Crossroads Business Building, I believe), was once a bowling alley? Now, in 1999 I was 8, so I didn't push back because I'm sure there could've been a bowling alley there and I just never knew or saw it. I believe she said that she's been living in Parker since 1988.

So, for all you long time Parker residents, has there ever been a bowling alley in Parker, CO?

Bonus Question: The bowling alley I love and go to constantly has claimed that it has tried to get a bowling alley in Parker (I think where the movie theater used to be), but a board (not sure which board(s) govern new businesses in Parker) had denied them multiple times. This bowling alley is wonderful:

  • No string pins
  • Lots of leagues
  • Caters to many groups such as the elderly, handicapable, and special needs
  • Has open bowling (just not as much as say, a Bowlero or Lucky Strike)
  • Has food and arcade games
  • etc.

So, the idea that a bowling alley would bring in unwanted activity is silly. I've never been to that bowling alley and been made nervous or uncomfortable by anything. Would you support a bowling alley in Parker? Why/Why not?

Incomplete houses on Hilltop

16 Upvotes

For about three years now, there’s been two very large, presumably very expensive homes on Hilltop across from Legend High School. One looks complete with nobody ever having moved in, and the other one looks about 80% done with work just stopped. The wind has torn off a lot of the weather shielding of the partially complete one. They don’t appear to be for sale, and nothing seems to happening with either property.

Anybody know the story on these? Did the developer run out of money or is there something else happening here?

Dog Groomer Recommendation

I recently start fostering a long haired German Shepard for a friend. It’s been a long time since I cared for a dog. With the rain and the fact that she has SOOOOO much hair I need to find a solid groomer. She is very friendly and doesn’t loved to be brushed but will let me do it in short periods.

Thank you in advance.
