Anyone aged 65 and over is welcome to join in. Action Zone confirms they are trying to grow their daytime business and this flyer is not just targeting Residential Villages. Anyone is welcome, they say! A special community promotion at Action Zone Entertainment Centre (129 Port Road, Whangarei) offering complimentary tenpin bowling for seniors every Tuesday between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM (running until 13th November). Tenpin bowling is a fantastic, weather-proof, and low-impact social activity. Our facility features wheelchair access, ramps, and bowling aids to ensure everyone can take part comfortably. If there is enough interest, Action Zone is also looking to establish a regular daytime Seniors Bowling League. Because space is limited, bookings are essential.
