Wairau Park Tenpin Bowling
A 2008 sister centre on the North Shore
Wairau Park Tenpin, in unit 9 at 18 Link Drive, began in 2008 as a second branch of Newmarket Tenpin Bowling, as the Newmarket website still says; whether the two remain linked today is not clear. The lanes use string pinsetters, and around them are pool tables, an arcade with a prize counter and an 18-plus gaming room.
The listed hours are unusually long, from 9:30am until 2am every day, though the website does not say whether bowling runs that late or only the gaming room does. Fridays and Saturdays switch to disco bowling from 6pm, and buying three games then comes with a free drink. Its pages, read on 11 November 2026, never say how many lanes there are.
