I played here in leagues for years as a child it’s so sad to see this place empty

[@genequondamatteo589]

Interesting video. Spent a lot of time there in my youth. There used to be a big pool hall in the basement.

[@PamelaWarren56]

Me too! I went to Sherwood secondary so we spent some time there

[@jacobkobald1753]

I never knew there was pool downstairs i was too young I guess

[@cindydoyon3166]

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation for the Barrie Photo Club this evening Thank you !!

[@Freaktography]

Thanks so much for being there!

[@rongotwalt4487]

One of the last haunts I've worked at ! Definitely haunted late at night ! Experienced many an apparition and strange goings on in the early morning hours ! I miss this gem of a bowling alley ! 48 lanes , a restaurant , a bar , an arcade and banquet hall ! It used to be a great night out ! RIP !!!

[@randymain501]

This bowling alley was the host of the Ontario 5 Pin Bowling Championships every year, which was an amazing event! It's hard to see it again so devoid of laughter and joy.

[@kellywilson7684]

In the Chicagoland area we have many huge bowling alleys. I love the Canada explores. So little vandalism. This bowling alley is a perfect example. Really cool!

[@martihetrick609]

Very ASWOME job showing biggest alley ive seen thank you

[@brianmadden4152]

Used to hangout in that place early 90s. Worked there in 1993! Looks the same as it did then...lol....thnx for sharing!

[@michaeldipietro89]

Miss this place soooo much. Played there since the mid-90s (I was born in 1989)

[@BJMTM1]

I played there for many years in the mid to late 2000s this place definitely has a place in many peoples hearts

[@lesleighc6949]

Grew up bowling with my parents in the 70’s when I was a kid, love the abandoned bowling allies!

[@christopherhodson4049]

Cool you were able to turn the lights on. Bummer they had to close down. I pretty much grew up in Bowling Alley's. Good one, thanks.

[@looloorex]

sad day when this place closed :'( the end of an era.

[@Freaktography]

So I have heard :(

[@susiejgray]

thanks freaktography! always fun to see what you post.

[@slickinfinity.crypto8028]

My nana ran the restaurant and banquet hall there for many years

[@karcinogen]

Great video, pretty big place, it's a shame it shut down. I filmed an abandoned bowling alley here in Cambridge...but it was in a lot worse shape, and was supposed to be torn down in 2017 yet it's still standing

[@tinamcdaniel443]

I really enjoyed that video! I enjoy all your videos! I'm watching you from West Virginia. Be safe out there!

[@meganmac99]

I watch all of your videos and I love them all 😍 You are my favorite urban explorer ! Also, seeing you all around Ontario like that, makes me miss it. I've seen this place before. Great memories. Stay safe out there. Sending love from Quebec. ☺️

[@hotord205]

one more great place thanks 👍👍

[@DreamParanorma1_67]

Hey thank you for the update I live in Hamilton on the mountain and had no idea it was being torn down the last time I was there was with my boys took the celebrating one of their birthdays so sad to see it go so thank you again for that amazing video to see it one more time..Take care..

[@TerrificTara]

That was awesome that RR pranked you! I cracked up!

[@malcolmkawerau4736]

I went there for many years with my family and friends to bowl I never knew there was a banquet hall downstairs until my middle school graduation

[@PamelaWarren56]

I didn't know about the banquet hall until today! Also didn't know about the restaurant part, just the counter by the lanes

[@es1263]

That is a Huge bowling ally, The disco balls are for Cosmic bowling for little kids to have birthday parties and just to bring your young kids to bowl, they turn the lights off and have black lights, strobe lights, and loud music, basically turning it into a nite club for them. A great video Dave!!!!

[@joannebailey7463]

I spent many hours at Sherwood Bowling Alley between the snack bar for fries and cherry cokes, working a couple nights a week and every other weekend at the centre desk, bowling summer league where I met my husband and our girls bowled with the YBC there. Memories wow! You and Ridding Ryder are 2 for 2! His Chedoke Hospital video brought back memories of volunteering there and a week spent in that hospital when I fractured my back!

[@donnavaughn5393]

Thank you my friend

[@Freaktography]

Thank you too

[@marcellahayward4064]

I remember going to Harrys fish and chips to get the best fries in Hamilton at the time then walk to sherwood lanes and play the video games during high school lunches

[@rachelgervais1971]

Thanks for the video 🤗

[@jacobkobald1753]

So sad theyre closing i have so many memories there

[@jillsteffy5432]

Huge! Needed lots of arcade games with all that room

[@patriciabuchanan67]

Wow, a blast from the past. I grew up right aroung the corner from here. I guess they got rid of the billiard room in the basement. I used to sneak down to watch my brother and his friends play pool. Never thought that place would get demolished. Did you notice if the rest of the plaza was closing up? Thanks for the walk down memory lane Dave!

[@PamelaWarren56]

I was wondering about the pool hall too. I don't think he came across it. It was a much smaller room than the banquet hall

[@krystlewatkins3673]

The rest of the plaza is still open!

[@brucemcpherson7993]

Used to work there as a kid. Banquet room was a pool hall back then.

[@cvmuller7813]

Wow this place is so cool..#Carlo wud luv those #BowlingBalls..✌️💕🇿🇦

[@josephheathcock8586]

Used to live down the street and bowl there all the time. The banquet area in the basement used to be a pool hall in the 90's/00's.

[@paulsettle5727]

I remember going there with friends for a good night out.

[@cherryspiker4426]

love it to bad its closed ❤❤ stay safe love ya

[@clairefunnell8481]

Hi Dave. Good to see you. What a cool explore. Huge! Why did it close? No beer for you. Haha! Liked the woodwork in it. Thank you for sharing your video and stay safe..

[@chadward4409]

There was alot of great competition there. It used to hold the ontario championships and even canadian championships. I bowled there for about 30 years and all kinds of championships. The best if the best came there to battle

[@michaelmarchetti9212]

I graduated Mohawk in 2018 after graduation, I packed up for Austria and Germany actually in 2018 I did did a really good graduation party the top all other parties that we had I am famous person in my hometown because I helped out a lot in the community.

[@littleharley2069]

I agree with others on here that is the largest bowling alley I have ever seen not even counting the extra areas. Yes, I kind of got seasick with the camera work a time or two. LOL. You are still one of my three favorite explorers and watch all your videos.

[@kellysaunooke740]

In my city we had several bowling alleys and I bowled alot .None were as big as this one .They all closed down years ago but since they have opened new ones in different cities.Strange how people lose interest in something then it comes back around again.

[@trevorman1406]

It's actually not demolished. It's turned into some sort of India restaurant and the other half is a Indian grocery store. I live right up the road from here. Lol. I remember when this was open. Can't believe you explored this. That's awesome. Too bad you didn't see pool hall unless it was gone.

[@PixelmechanicYYZ]

Damn, I installed all the cosmic bowling lighting in that place years ago (the "fancy" lights you mentioned). If you only knew what was lurking above that ceiling... :)

[@vintagesupermarkets5210]

oh do tell. 😃

[@bettyanndean7191]

This was so interesting !! 🎳 🎳 Camera work was a little shaky but not bad . Intro was funny Dave !!!!❤️😘🌹

[@moeloogham8463]

Nice bowling alley. Wonder why they 're demolishing it?

[@Freaktography]

No idea

[@Freaktography]

Thanks Alan

[@PopCultureFan_]

Our local town bowling alley finally closed last year (2020) First opened in 1961 Everyone and their grandma went there, lots of generations.. since this is a town prob no bigger than 10,161 atleast according to what my town census told me from 2016. I cant even find anything more recent..

[@Freaktography]

thats a bummer

[@PopCultureFan_]

@@Freaktography Yeah 😢

[@kenreid5866]

Did You find the Pool Hall downstairs when you come in the Back Door??

[@PamelaWarren56]

I was curious about the pool hall too. Spend some time in my teens down there

[@wolfywolf2sda]

Was hyper smooth turned on in your GoPro?

[@tinaproctor7468]

This has to be the largest bowling ally I think I've ever seen.

[@Freaktography]

ya it was a big one!

[@robhimburg7323]

North End Bowl (NEBs Funworld) has 52 lanes

[@vintagesupermarkets5210]

@@robhimburg7323 world's biggest 5 pin bowling alley. Merivale Lanes in Ottawa is 48 lanes, just like Sherwood was.

[@redneckbryon]

I wonder if you tripped a silent alarm, that’s why the phone was ringing and the fax was just a coincidence, the alarm company was trying to call and see if there was anybody in the building then the main alarm went off, all just speculation since the timeline seemed off in the video.

[@mattd1142]

So someone still owns it… you’re admitting to break and enter…. Hmm. Easy work for by buddy on Hamilton Police. Sweet

[@dwarren1010]

Did birthday parties there in late 70s early 80s

[@adelehands3989]

When did u TAKE this video??? It is a grocery store now! Or WAS last time I went by!!! I bowled there right up til they shut it! Even stole a bowling ball last day!

[@PamelaWarren56]

2017

[@dwarren1010]

There's a middle eastern grocery store next door now

[@WillowAboveAndBeyond]

I bowled there in a league years ago...used to drop my grandmother off at Juravinski hospital and go bowl while she had her treatments....so sad that it is going to be torn down

[@jonathanterrett]

Bowling alleys fun shame it’s gone like a lot of buildings could of been restored this

[@clubgus07]

wow mega bowling and banquet hall too bad ten pin bowls is not as popular

[@RaptorsRntz]

I heard that they were gunna reopen it....

[@railroadskater2896]

That's the CLEANEST abandoned bowling alley I've seen. Is this another casualty of COVID? I sure hope all the "good stuff" gets salvaged out of there first.

[@vintagesupermarkets5210]

Closed in 2018. The developers that bought the place have indicated they'll build a new bowling alley but 1/2 the lanes at 24 lanes taking up probably 1/3 the space of Sherwood.

[@anthonyhro1903]

You should have bowled a few frames!?

[@listenup394]

A bowling alley? Wow creepy lol

[@listenup394]

The basement used to be a pool hall

[@naomibedek1701]

Learn how to use a video camera. Some people might get seasick watching.

[@chevguy8587]

This place actually has good reviews sad that it's going.. covid is ruining everyone's small business

[@Freaktography]

bummer

[@WholesaleDivision]

Sad.
