Clonakilty Park Hotel Bowling
New in summer 2026: off-peak hours and prices are not yet published.
West Cork's first ten-pin alley
Cork County Council approved West Cork's first ten-pin alley in July 2024: a 223 sq m building joined to the Park Cinema in the grounds of the Clonakilty Park Hotel, with four lanes, a seating area and room for about 24 bowlers, six to a lane. A Southern Star guide published in June 2026 announced the opening for July, and the hotel now lists the alley among its indoor activities.
It forms part of CLONPLEX, the cluster of attractions around the hotel that also takes in the three-screen cinema, a maritime-themed adventure golf course, a high-ropes adventure centre and a summer food truck. Digital darts were announced for the same summer.
Finding the alley on Park Road
The alley sits beside the Park Cinema at Cloheen, in the grounds of the Clonakilty Park Hotel on Park Road.

Hotel grounds, separate bookings
The hotel keeps its playzone and teen zone for residents and leisure members, but it sends bowlers to a separate booking page, and the local press presents the alley as open to the public. With four lanes, booking ahead is the safer plan.
