Bowlero Looks to Develop a Bowling Alley at the Former Dick's Sporting Goods in Moorpark (OPENED ON 12/8/23)

UPDATE: Lucky Strike Moorpark opened on December 8, 2023.

The City of Moorpark received an application for a Conditional Use Permit from Bowlero in July to develop a bowling alley at the former Dick's Sporting Goods, 706 Los Angeles Avenue (near the Amazon Fresh store). The application is currently undergoing review by the city and its planning commission.

If approved, the project would still need to go through environmental analysis, a public hearing and final approval. Bowlero is the largest bowling alley operator in the world, with 300 centers, including local locations at The Collection at Riverpark in Oxnard and in Woodland Hills.
