Housed on Warners Brothers Sunset lot, the Sunset Bowling Center marked continued expansion of the movie studio’s recreational use of the property. With a rollerskating rink already in place , Warner Brothers announced plans to design the world’s largest bowling alley in April 1939. The venue would include 52 lanes, a cafe and cocktail lounge. The grand opening of the Sunset Bowling Center in May 1939 was attended by many celebrities, most notably avid bowler and silent film star, Harold Lloyd. The Sunset Bowling Center operated until Spring 1954, when the buildings were sold to Paramount’s television station, KTLA.
