If you grew up in Penrith in the 1990s or early 2000s, there’s every chance you spent plenty of time at this AMF Bowling Centre on Woodriff Street (also known as Penrith Bowl). It was one of Penrith’s most popular attractions, with thousands of bowlers every week turning up to compete in both casual games and leagues. Bowling sleepovers even occurred at the AMF centre for the junior leagues. The pictured centre closed in 2009, leaving Penrith without a bowling alley until the arrival of a new AMF centre on Batt Street, Jamisontown in 2012. The AMF name no longer exists in Australia, and in fact has no real connection with the country given it’s an acronym for American Machine and Foundry. In 2018, all AMF centres including the one in Penrith were re-named Zone Bowling. The pictured AMF centre was repurposed and is now a liquor store.
