Portage County Bowling Centers PC USBC BA represents bowlers who bowl in the following centers: AMF Twin Star Lanes, Kent Lanes, and Sky Lanes.. Below is some information about each of these facilities.
Bill White's Twin Star Lanes, located at 2245 St. Rt. 59, Kent, Ohio 44240 (330-673-1800) is a 40 lane facility with synthetic surface lanes and wooden approaches and automatic scoring. The business is owned by Bill White and managed by Keith Lang. Twin Star hosts more than thirty leagues including men's leagues, women's leagues, youth leagues, senior leagues, and mixed leagues. They are happy to host parties for birthdays or other occasions. They host several tournaments throughout the year and serve as the host center for both the Rootstown and Ravenna high school bowling teams. Twin Star has a full service pro shop. Bill White has bought back the business in July of 2012 and has invested about a quarter of a million dollars to clean and update the facility including new scoring monitors and computers, a new land dressing machine, and lots of paint and repair of the building. Kent Lanes, located at 1524 South Water Street, Kent, Ohio 44240 (330-673-1448) is a 24 lane facility with synthetic lanes and approaches and automatic scoring.

They feature two sets of lane markers at 33 and 40 feet, alternating light and dark boards, and highlighted fifth boards to aid bowlers in aiming and tracking their shots. They also have anti-skid pin decks and textured approaches. Kent's Assistant Manager is Matt Tennant. Together they take care of the eighteen leagues that bowl at various times of the day and include men's leagues, women's leagues, mixed leagues, senior leagues, and youth leagues.
