StrikeYard Bowling

A ballroom site turned bowling alley

Glenwell Road in Glengormley has hosted a ballroom, Romanos, in the 1950s and 60s, and Leisureworld from the 1970s to the 90s. The bowling centre took the StrikeYard name in 2025, three years after its owners opened Scrapyard Golf next door. The 16 lanes have been upgraded with new equipment and take up to six players each; the operator reckons on about ten minutes per person per game.

Arcade machines start at 10p a play, Crazy Pool has been added, and a sports simulator covering football, golf, rugby and bowling is moving into a new space. Next door, Scrapyard Golf has a 21-hole themed mini golf course. The centre is closed on Mondays and opens at 10:00 at weekends; prices depend on ticket type and number of games, and appear only in the online booking system.
