B/LV Adventures
Here’s your chance to socialize and soak up some of that amazing bowling alley atmosphere. Come experience accessible bowling, guaranteed to reduce the frequency of gutter balls! The use of accessible railings for bowling really does reduce the frequency of gutter balls for those of us who cannot see. Bowling blind is surprisingly fun!
Although B/LV Adventures was created for those with sight loss, anyone of any ability can join us! Ball ramps are available, bumpers are up, and lane one is accessible for wheelchair users. Reach out if you have any questions or concerns before attending.
B/LV Adventures will meet at Ward Parkways on the first Wednesday of every month at 11:00 when Ward Parkway opens. Participants can come and hang out as long as they like and leave at any time. We pay to play two games.
