A method of resurfacing a worn wooden bowling lane comprises the steps of (a) smoothing the worn lane surface to a uniform level, (b) securing suitable underlayment panels to the surface of selected lane sections exposed to direct ball impact, (c) securing decorative panels of intermediate-density resin-bonded particle board to the surface of the remaining lane sections exposed only to rolling ball contact, and (d) securing a decorative, impact- and abrasion-resistant plastic laminate to the underlayment panels. The decorative panels simulate the appearance and bowling characteristics of natural wooden lanes.
