Introducing SuperPlay's Brand New Weekly Blog!
Stay up to date on what's happening each week at SuperPlay!
Welcome to SuperPlay's Inaugural Weekly Blog (creative blog name still to come)!
SuperPlay - formerly Valley Lanes - has been a mainstay in the Beaverton community for decades. Its doors first opened in the 1960s and have remained open ever since, with a brief hiatus in 2011 after a fire tore through the bowling center, forcing a closure and full remodel. A few short years later, the business was reopened by the same owners that operated Valley Lanes, Terry Pierce and Kathy Holmes. However, they elected to move away from the strictly bowling center model, choosing instead to shift into the ever-expanding world of Family Entertainment Centers, where bowling is just a small piece of the total experience - and so SuperPlay was born. Terry and Kathy understood that as the world of entertainment evolved, their business would need to evolve with it to keep up. So instead of simply reopening Valley Lanes, they totally redesigned the establishment, removing some bowling lanes in favor of a 3,200 square foot Laser Tag Arena; expanding the footprint of the Redemption Arcade, adding state-of-the-art games and exciting new prizes; updating the kitchen from the simple "snack bar" of Valley Lanes to a fully-equipped restaurant kitchen capable of preparing catered events and supporting a full dinner menu; and upgrading the bar from the dated look and feel of Valley Lanes to a modern, more open space where guests can sit and relax with their favorite drinks.
This is how SuperPlay exists today, and hopes to continue serving Beaverton well into the future as a top-notch entertainment destination.
The intent of this blog, and the focus of many of SuperPlay's current initiatives, is to reconnect and reengage with the community to which it has belonged for so many years. The owners' committment to Beaverton has always been strong, playing host to local high school graduation parties, elementary school field trips, daycare outings, and hundreds of local business' team building events and holiday parties. It is our goal to remain a premium destination for groups of all kinds for years to come.
What Will I Learn From Reading the Blog?
Each week, we will be featuring all the children celebrating their birthday parties with us during the coming week! Every kid deserves to feel special on their birthday, and it's our aim to make their day as special as possible - including birthday wishes for everyone to see online.
We will also feature the prior week's high scores from regular open play bowling, as well as any special achievements from our league bowlers (300 games, 800 series, and personal bests).
Arcade jackpots are always worth a mention! Anyone who hits it big in the arcade will have their name and ticket award posted here, along with a photo of the payout and / or the prize they won (with their permission, or parents' permission).
Finally, we'll keep everyone updated on current happenings at SuperPlay: special offers, deals, new leagues, and any upcoming events, so be sure to check back each week to see what's new!
So, without further ado...
Happy Birthday To You! Happy Birthday To You! Happy Birthday Dear....

Now, For Some Important Updates
WE'RE LIVE ON SOCIAL MEDIA! Over the years, SuperPlay has had some difficulty maintaining a consistent social media presence, and there have even been multiple accounts created along the way, none of which are currently being monitored or updated. However, we do have new social media accounts that will be updated regularly, so please be sure to follow! Links to each account can be found on our website's homepage.
League season is right around the corner! We have leagues starting up the week after Labor Day, with a different league almost every night of the week, and a little something for everyone. Whether you're a seasoned league veteran, a casually competitive bowler, or brand new to the sport, we have a spot for you! If you're interested, please contact SuperPlay and we'll get you signed up.
We also held our first Learn to Bowl (Better) training class yesterday, and it was a huge success! While not everyone that signed up was able to make it this week, we still had a great time and all the participants enjoyed some free instruction AND free bowling - win win! And it's not too late to join! If you'd like a few pointers and a bit of free practice, come on down! We'll be meeting Monday nights at 6:30pm for the rest of August.
Lastly, be sure to check out the current specials on our website, and don't wait to take advantage of them! $2 Wednesdays only last until the end of summer, so hurry over and treat yourself to a fun afternoon or evening of bowling, laser tag, and 1/2 price arcade games that won't break the bank.
That's a Wrap!
Because this is our first blog (of many!), we don't have any arcade jackpots or high scores to report from last week, but be sure to check our next one to see how things went this week. Thanks for reading, and thanks for being a part of our SuperPlay community - hope to see you out on the lanes soon!
