The bowling center first opened on Platt Avenue in West Haven, Connecticut, in the spring of 1954, and was one of the first duckpin lanes in America to open its doors. During its early years, families would include a stop at Woodlawn after riding the Roller Coaster or Flying Horses at the White City of Savin Rock. Bob Nugent purchased the lanes in May 2004 after a long career in the retail oil business. As a youngster Bob spent many afternoons at Woodlawn before moving out of town, and he felt the business was the right venture because he enjoys talking with and meeting new people and loves children. Bob immediately initiated a complete renovation of the well-worn and much loved bowling center, upgrading the facilities to make them handicap accessible, rebuilding the snack bar, and installing new flooring, lighting, paint, and furniture.

A subsequent extensive remodeling gave the center a new look while preserving its 1954 equipment and wood lanes. Mario Argentino handled the painting, and John Roper at Roper Remodeling created the bowling alley countertop. Woodlawn has been featured in "Out of the Blue" by Alexa DiCambio and "Pretty Eyes" by Alex Goot.

Woodlawn Duckpin Bowling of Orange brings one of America's earliest duckpin bowling traditions to Orange, CT.
